HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT FOR BOMB SQUAD

A HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT WILL PROVIDE BETTER RESOURCES FOR WESTERN IOWA'S BOMB SQUAD TASK FORCE.

WOODBURY COUNTY DEPUTY GREG LOGAN SAYS THE GRANT IS FOR UP TO 300-THOUSAND DOLLARS:

LOGAN SAYS HAVING THE EQUIPMENT IN WESTERN IOWA WILL GREATLY REDUCE THE RESPONSE TIME IF AN INCIDENT OCCURS.

THE EQUIPMENT WOULD BE UNDER THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STATE FIRE MARSHALL'S OFFICE AND MAY BE STORED AT THEIR AGENT'S FACILITY IN DENISON.
