HILL County Director and Chairman Civil Defense & Emergency Planning Texas A &M University Director FRED SANDLIN County Courthouse GEORGE L. HUEBNER Bryan Director Bryan, Texas 77801 College Station Director April 17, 1970 Dear The Brazos County Emergency Planning office with the support of the County Commissioners, Brazos County USDA Defense Board, the Fire Department of Bryan and College Station and the A &M Fire Fighting school is formulating a Rural Fire Protection Plan for Brazos County. The purpose of this plan is: 1. Establish a Rural Fire reporting system which will speed up fire fighting equipment dispatch to the rural area affected. 2. Establish rural fire districts and fire zone warning to aid in identification of a reported fire area. 3. Survey all fire fighting resources in each district. 4. Establish volunteer fire brigades in each district to battle fires until fire department equipment arrives. 5. Train and organize rural brigades in effective fire fighting units. With the support we can give the rural areas in organizing a fire fighting capability in each district, it is conceivable that fire losses and expense could be cut in half. To achieve this, we will need your support and cooperation. The initial meeting will be held Monday, April 27th at 7:30 pm in the Medallion Room in the Bryan Utilities Building. You are being asked to represent your district at this meeting and to assist us in serving as a steering committee for this program. I have enclosed a list of citizens we have asked to serve on this committee and a copy of the fire index map. Additional personnel will be needed to help to complate the program and we will be depending on you to assist us in this area of work. The program we have been working on is designed to pro- vide you with a better fire protection capability and I be- lieve it will work if each of us will support it by attending this steering committee meeting. If you cannot possibly attend, please have someone from your area represent you.
