It came down to a waiting
game but the Tarrys Volunteer
Fire Department will be getting
some much needed life-saving
equipment to use on Highway 3A.

A> federal grant, received
through the Regional District of
Central Kootenay, will allow the
department to purchase an emer-
gency vehicle to carry an expen-
sive piece of equipment known as
the Jaws-of-Life. The “Jaws” are
powerful hydraulic cutters used
to remove injured occupants from
car wreckage.

“T really didn’t think we were
going to get it,” said Tarrys fire
chief Ralph Merriman. “Only one
out of 16 were approved in the
whole province, there were so
many rules and i you

had to follow.”

The grant comes from the Joint
Emergency Preparedness Pro-
gram and will cover fifty per cent

because the $6 million pool the
fund pulls from had dried up. °

Merriman and the RDCK were
left with a choice of pulling out
their ‘until the follow

of the cost up to a i of
$26, 750.

Another $13,083 has already
been raised from private business
and Merriman said he thinks they
could raise as much as another
$20,000 to purchase the equip-
ment.

“If the service clubs in the area
continue to support us the way
they say they would we should do
it,” he said, adding that if they
spend a minimum of $55,000 they.
would also.receive 2 provincial Go
B.C. grant. The additional govem-
ment money would be enough to
cover the higher price tag.

The JEPP application went
through four different levels of

y only to be denied ©

ing year or waiting to see if
money would become available. «!

“We left the application in
there,” Merriman said, “with the
idea that if some of the successful
applicants didn’t.use up all their
money we could get it.” * :

Although the JEPP grant. was
applied for in March 1991; the
fire chief didn’t make a public
announcement until December 7. :
: ‘Merriman said the grant pro+
cess is a competitive one and be
didn’t want to draw ‘Competition
from other locales.

“T also didn't want to‘get the
crew’s hopes up,” he added. “I
really didn't think we'd get it.” , |

A few of the arguments used in
