Appendix A
Appendix A
NFP A (National Fire Protection Association) 1500 recognizes and advocates the need for
elimination and containment of all vehicles exhaust emissions to a level of no less than 100
percent effective capture.
NIOSH (National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) recommends that occupational
exposure to carcinogen be lowered to the lowest feasible concentration.
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) 29 CFR 1990.103-0SHA is
aggressively enforcing stricter preventive measures due to the increase awareness of the health
effects related to vehicle exhaust emissions. Local exhaust ventilation removes fumes at their
source, hoses to tailpipe or stack exhaust. Monetary fines will be imposed if violations exist.
AFSCME (American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees) states under control
for vehicle exhaust, that local exhaust ventilation is the best way to reduce potential hazards to
diesel exhaust.
NRDC (National Resources Defense Council) "The scientific evidence is clear, diesel exhaust is
a complex mixture comprised of hazardous particles and vapors, some of which are known
carcinogens and others probable carcinogens. Diesel exposure poses a significant and
avoidable increase in human health risk. Compelling evidence from dozens of well designed
studies supports the conclusion that diesel exhaust causes cancer."
UMC (United Mechanics Code)-A mechanical ventilation or exhaust shall be installed to control,
capture, and remove emissions generated.
IMC (International Mechanics Code)-Motor vehicles that are operated shall be provided with a
source capture system connected directly to motor vehicles exhaust system. In addition, re-
circulation of air is prohibited.

Please provide your narrative statement in the space provided below. Include in your narrative, details regarding (1) your project's
description and budget, (2) your organization's financial need, (3) the benefit to be derived from the cost of your project, and (4)
how the activities requested in your application will help your organization's daily operations and how this grant will protecllife and
property.
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
San Bernardino City Fire Department (SBCFD) is requesting funding assistance for modifications to fire stations. Our goal is to
install vehicle exhaust extraction systems in all of our fire stations thereby meeting safety standards to protect the health and safety
of the public and firefighters. We have always provided personal protective equipment and training to our fire personnel. However,
we have an additional responsibility to ensure that while in quarters they have minimal risk of exposure to the potential cancer
causing effects of diesel exhaust emissions. All fire stations are living and sleeping quarters, manned 24 hours per day, 7 days per
week, and open to the public 365 days. Our stations are used for elementary school fire safety training, voting polls, meetings with
outside agencies, and providing public information. In addition, all fire stations are equipped with exercise equipment and five of
those stations utilize the equipment on the apparatus floor.
Installing the vehicle exhaust extraction system will assist in protecting the health and safety of fire personnel and the general public
who visit and use the stations on a daily basis.
OUR ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL NEED:
SBCFD is requesting $601,266 to install. complete vehicle exhaust extraction systems to serve all thirty-four pieces of fire apparatus
at our twelve fire stations. Our fire department's emergency response fleet consists of engines, trucks, and support vehicles that
use diesel fuel. None of our twelve fire stations have systems that remove diesel exhaust directly from fire equipment or that clean
the atmosphere in the station.
The SBCFD fiscal year budget is $28,812,300 and 91 % of the budget is allocated to personnel salaries. 1 % of the budget is for
maintenance and equipment for suppression. The cost of the vehicle exhaust extraction system cannot be funded through the
budget now, or in the immediate future. Therefore, we are requesting funding through the 2006 AFGP.
These systems will eliminate the hazardous exposure to the cancer causing effects of vehicle exhaust emissions and comply with
the National Fire Protection Association 1500-2002 edition A.9.1.6.
Every fire station has a different unit value due to the number of vehicles located at the fire station and the size of the facility. The
following is the age of each fire station and the occupancy: fire station 1 was built in 1982 and the occupancy is 200, fire station 2
was built in 1962 and the occupancy is 4, fire station 3 was built in 1976 and the occupancy is 4, fire station 4 was built in 1965 and
the occupancy is 8, fire station 5 was built in 1976 and the occupancy is 4, fire station 6 was built in 1976 and the occupancy is 4,
fire station 7 was built in 1953 and the occupancy is 4, fire station 8 was built in 1968 and the occupancy is 4, fire station 9 was built
in 1960 and the occupancy is 4, fire station 10 was built in 1964 and the occupancy is 4, fire station 11 was built in 1988 and the
occupancy is 4, and fire station 12 was built in 2005 and the occupancy is 4.
COST BENEFIT OF PROJECT:
This project will directly benefit the citizens of our community and our fire personnel. The vehicle exhaust extraction system will be
used on a daily basis and will help protect the city from future medical liability. The project will provide a clean, healthy work
environment for our fire personnel while meeting OSHA and NFPA regulations.
This request is to increase the overall health and safety of our fire personnel at a cost of $601,266 to install the vehicle extraction
exhaust system. Not only do our fire personnel benefit from this system but also our surrounding community. The systems will
eliminate potentially life threatening breathing hazards to our fire personnel and the public. Without funding through this grant
opportunity, it will take several years for our city to acquire this system.
EFFECTING OUR DAILY OPERATIONS AND PROTECTING LIFE AND PROPERTY:
The City of San Bernardino is located in Southern California with approximately 19 miles of wildland interface. In light of the annual
western wildfires, which include major conflagrations such as the Old Fire in 2003 that burned down hundreds of homes in our city.
SBCFD has set a goal to acquire thirty-four vehicle extraction exhaust systems to equip twelve fire stations.
SBCFD intent is to purchase thirty-four vehicle extraction exhaust systems for our fire stations. These systems are critical in order
to protect the health and safety of our fire personnel, administrative personnel, and public by removing exhaust emissions from the

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The San Bernardino City Fire Department mission: We are a progressive organization dedicated to providing the highest level of
preventive and emergency services consistent with the desires and resources of the community while providing a positive
environment for the growth and development of its members.
The San Bernardino City Fire Department provides fire protection to over 200,000 residents in a 64 square mile area. In this
jurisdiction there is approximately 19 miles of wildland/urban interface, a major rail yard, an international airport, a jail, two major
mall complexes and three major interstate freeways. SBCFD is a participating member in the California Master Mutual Aid
Agreement, responding to any request for aid in the state. As a result, departments in our county and the San Manuel Band of

automatic/mutual aid requests.
SBCFD staffs twelve engine companies, air light support, hazmat unit, heavy rescue unit, five brush engines, two aerial truck

is the largest city in the County and serves as the County seat.
SBCFD is requesting funding from the 2006 Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program for modification to all our fire stations to install
vehicle exhaust extraction system for each fire station. With your assistance, we will continue to provide the best emergency
