OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY OTS-136a New (11/04) GRANT PROPOSAL FORMAT PROJECT TITLE: Transportation Emergencies - Safety Enhancement Project AGENCY: San Bernardino City Fire Department PROPOSED BEGINNING DATE: 10/01/05 PROPOSED ENDING DATE: 09/30/06 PROBLEM STATEMENT SUMMARY: The City of San Bernardino has experienced considerable growth in commercial, manufacturing, and distribution industries, which has greatly increased the amount of commercial vehicle traffic within the city. The city has realized a drastic increase in the number of traffic collisions resulting in injuries, fatality incidents, and DUI-related incidents during the past year. There are numerous construction and transportation-corridor retrofit projects occurring within the city that will continue for years to come. These recent developments have presented our organization with many new challenges and placed a severe burden on the resources of the San Bernardino City Fire Department. PROBLEM STATEMENT: The City of San Bernardino has recently undergone many changes that increase the potential for transportation-related emergencies such as: . A significant increase in commercial vehicle traffic as a result of increased commerce and the development of new retail distribution facilities. . A new high-speed commuter rail service that traverses downtown numerous times each day. . An international airport that is currently undergoing development to become a massive distribution facility. . A new automobile distribution facility that serves as a hub for all new vehicles being transported to the western states. . A new freeway nearing completion that will complete the 1-210 and greatly increase the driver daily vehicular miles traveled of San Bernardino. . Major construction retrofit projects involving vital freeway interchanges and overpasses. . Reconstruction and repair of aging and seismically damaged bridges. Each of the above factors represents unique challenges to our fire department and has increased the volume of service calls. Our statistics show that there has been a significant increase of service calls relating to traffic collisions in the past year.

BUDGET NARRATIVE PERSONNEL: N/A TRAVEL: In-State - Travel expenses to attend the annual OTS Summit. CONTRACTUAL SERVICES: N/A NON-EXPENDABLE PROPERTY: Advanced Hydraulic Rescue System - This equipment will complement our existing hydraulic rescue tools. We are currently ill equipped to perform any type of rescue in remote areas and/or areas having limited access. This situation is often encountered when vehicles exit the roadway as a result of a traffic accident and come to rest in ravines, freeway embankments, flood control channels, or at a great distance from rescuers and equipment. This advanced system will provide rescuers with compact and portable versions of tools that will help to decrease extrication time and improve victim survivability. Advanced Technical Rescue Equipment - This purchase of advanced technical rescue equipment will serve to supplement our existing cache of rope rescue equipment. Much of our existing equipment is in need of replacement as a result of frequent usage, recurrent training, and age. This equipment will provide a minimum amount of equipment required to be carried on additional emergency apparatus to enhance our emergency response capabilities to all transportation emergencies. It will enable our rescuers to perform more advanced technical rescues of victims from areas that are time consuming and difficult to access. This essential equipment will greatly improve the efficiency and overall safety of emergency rescue operations and improve victim survivability. Victim Access, Extrication, and Immobilization Equipment - This equipment will enhance our current methods of victim access, victim removal, stabilization, and immobilization of victims involved in any type of transportation accident. This equipment includes such items as forcible entry tools, stabilization equipment, and patient care and packaging devices. This equipment shall reduce the time required to gain access to victims and allow for emergency medical treatment to be provided at the traffic incident.
