on a limited basis, and other types of rescue service. Pratt County also has
three pieces of fire apparatus including a 3,500 gallon tanker, 1,500 gallon
tanker-brush unit, and 4 by 4 pick-up brush unit which may respond anywhere
in Pratt County when requested. This is funded under the Emergency Prep. budget
and is administered by Mark McManaman. Fire chiefs for each district are as

Q. What do I need to do to set
up a fireworks stand?
A. Contact Mark McManaman at Emergency
Services at 620-672-4130. Stands are only allowed outside city limits of Pratt.
Some smaller cities may have ordinances restricting fireworks or stands. State
laws apply to all stands. A sales tax permit or temporary permit is required.
The Kansas Department of Revenue issues these tax permits. State regulations
are available through the State Fire Marshall at 785-296-3401. Stand permits
are $50.00 in Pratt County. Each stand will be inspected and permit given.
Fees are collected after a stand is set up and in operation.
Q. Who assigns new street addresses
outside of town?
A. Rural addresses are issued by the Emergency Services
office by Mark McManaman at 620-672-4130. Addresses in small town are issued
by the city clerks of those towns and by Mark McManaman. Both people should
be contacted about addresses in small towns so that addresses are not duplicated
and are put in the database maintained by Emergency Services and Southwestern
Bell, Sprint, Haviland, and South Central Telephone.
