Greg Abbott
Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has approved Texas’ request for Fire Management Assistance Grants (FMAGs) to help battle the Rest Area Fire in Gray County and the Crabapple Fire in Gillespie County.
“Texas is working around the clock to provide all necessary resources to local officials fighting wildfires in Gray and Gillespie counties,” Governor Abbott said. “With the approval of these Fire Management Assistance grants, we will continue to support our brave firefighters as they battle these dangerous blazes. The safety and well-being of Texans is our No. 1 priority, and we will work tirelessly to ensure impacted communities get the assistance they need.”
The FMAGs will allow Texas to receive 75% reimbursement from the federal government for costs related to combating the fires. These grants assist with mitigation, management, and control of wildfires on public or private land that pose a major disaster threat.
In response to the wildfires, Governor Abbott has deployed multiple state emergency resources to aid local firefighting efforts:
