Summary
Chief Albert said the department will submit an Assistance to Firefighters Grant by the 20th seeking about $250,000 to fund vehicle/machinery extrication training for all members; the city's estimated 10% match is about $25,000.
Chief Albert told the commission the department plans to submit an Assistance to Firefighters Grant this week; the deadline is the 20th of the month. The grant request is for about $250,000 to pay for vehicle and machinery extrication training that would cover the whole department.
The chief said the city's cost would be the required 10% match, which he estimated at roughly $25,000, and that the department plans to spread deliveries over two months to minimize operational disruption. He described the training as department-wide and said overtime would cover coverage costs during sessions.
