OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma officials anticipate problems with funding the state's rural firefighting services if the partial federal government shutdown persists. The Journal Record reports that the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture's forestry division received communication from the U.S. forest service not to suspend any activities on some of their federal grants, despite being unable to access the subsidies for a potential fire hazard. The forestry division is responsible for taking the lead in emergency management when handling wildfires across the state. Most funding assistance in Oklahoma comes from the Rural Fire Defense 80/20 Reimbursement Grant program through the Agriculture Department.Read more on NewsOK.com
