FEMA authorized the use of federal funds to help with firefighting costs for the Schroeder Fire burning in Pennington County near Rapid City.
FEMA approved the state’s request for a federal Fire Management Assistance Grant after receiving the request this afternoon and determining the fire threatened destruction and could lead to a major disaster.
The authorization makes FEMA funding available to pay 75% of the state’s eligible firefighting costs under an approved grant for managing, mitigating and controlling designated fires.
