A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A FIRE TRAINING BUILDING IN CRAVEN COUNTY.
Whereas, Craven County has a county-wide volunteer fire department with only two paid chiefs; and
Whereas, Craven County receives 1,300 fire alarms per year; and
Whereas, specialized training is needed to provide adequate fire protection in rural areas; and
Whereas, no eastern facility exists for specialized training in live fire burning and smoking houses; and
Whereas, members of the Craven County Firemans Association, Inc., have to travel to Durham or Raleigh to receive this specialized training; and
Whereas, Craven County desperately needs a fire training building to be used to train its fire fighters in live fire burning and smoking houses to ensure adequate fire protection; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to Craven County the sum of $50,000 for the 1989-90 fiscal year for construction of a fire training building to be used to train all members of the Craven County Firemans Association, Inc.  This appropriation shall be matched with non-State funds on the basis of $1.00 of non-State funds for every $2.00 of State funds.
Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1989.
