DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: The San Bernardino Fire Department (SBFD) is respectfully requesting funding assistance from the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program for modification to all our fire stations regarding the purchase and installation of vehicle exhaust ex1raction systems. Currently, we do not have a source capture exhaust removal system. This activity will protect our firefighters by removing 100% of the diesel exhaust emissions from the fire stations. Current changes in health and safety standards have clearly identified that vehicle exhaust emissions, whole diesel in particular, is a cancer causing substance. Agencies documenting the hazards of diesel exhaust include but are not limited to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, the American Conference of General Industrial Hygienists, the U.S. Department of Health, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The above agencies have led to the implementation of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1500-2002 edition standard section A.9.1.6 on facility safety regarding exhaust emissions. The guidelines for vehicle exhaust elimination state: local exhaust ventilation that remove harmful fumes at their source, hoses at tailpipe, or stack exhaust as listed in the OSHA health and safety fact sheet. Motor vehicles that are operated shall be provided with a source capture system that connects directly to the motor vehicle exhaust system. In addition, re-circulation of air is prohibited as stated in the International Mechanical Code 2003. The agencies listed above and quoted statements support our request and justification for the vehicle exhaust ex1raction system for the health and safety of our firefighters, administrative personnel, employees of other departments and visitors. All fire stations are living and sleeping quarters, staffed 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and open to the public 365 days per year. The accumulation of diesel exhaust contamination is evident throughout the stations. Effects of the cross contamination can be seen in our sleeping quarters, training rooms, meeting rooms, on medical supplies, physical fitness equipment, and firefighter turnout gear which are stored on the apparatus floor. 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 fire stations utilize the equipment on the apparatus floor due to age of the building and lack of space. Installing the vehicle exhaust extraction system will eliminate a known health risk to fire personnel and the general public who visit and use the stations on a daily basis. If we continue to allow toxic build up in our stations, it will lead to serious health and financial crisis affecting our community and taxpayers. Occupational asthma or cancer related illness, claims for workmen's compensation, line of duty related illness, and medical insurance ciaims can be clearly tracked and attributed to exposure to vehicle exhaust emissions. This will have a significant impact on the financial operations of our department, the morale of department members, and the ability to recruit new members, and impact mutual aid firefighters who enter our stations. The proposed system will also provide long term financiai benefits as well. There will be potential reduction in insurance premiums, building maintenance costs, liability and lower energy bills by allowing the bay doors to remain closed during vehicle inspections. Our firefighters are our most valuable asset and this exposure to exhaust fumes is 100% preventable with the assistance of this Grant. OUR ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL NEED: SBFD is requesting $662,916 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. Tax dollars provide the operating funds, and SBFD is in direct competition with other city departments for a fair share of taxpayer's dollars. SBFD fiscal year budget is $30,248,000 and 88% of the budget is allocated to personnel salaries. 1 % https://portal.fema.gov/firegrant/j sp/fire2007/applicationlnarrative.j sp ?view=print&print=true&ap... 4/16/2007 Narrative Statement Page 2 ~f 4 of the .budget is for maintenance of facilities and equipment suppression. SBFD response area and responsibilities continue to grow without a corresponding change in revenue for our department. As with every agency, we have seen a significant increase in the cost of electricity, natural gas, and fuel costs. The cost of the vehicle exhaust extraction system cannot be funded through budgetary means. Therefore, SBFD is attempting to be proactive and is seeking funding for this worthwhile project through the 2007 Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program. 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 . More important, the project will provide a clean, healthy work environment for our fire personnel while meeting OSHA and NFPA regulations. This system will also have financial saving in reduction of maintenance costs relating to painting, fumiture and fixture replacement, and most of all infiltration of carbon soot particles which contaminate and short out sensitive electrical devices such as computers, EMS equipment, etc. We will experience reduced exposure to workmen's compensation and medical insurance claims and line of duty related illnesses. We will reduce energy costs by allowing station doors to be closed during extreme weather conditions. EFFECTING OUR DAilY OPERATIONS AND PROTECTING LIFE AND PROPERTY: The proposed system will enhance our day to day operations by allowing the doors to remain closed during routine maintenance, vehicle checks and training drills, as well as community events. Personnel and visitors entering the fire station will not be exposed to dangerous vehicle emissions as the system utilizes a particulate filtration, which captures 100% of diesel exhaust emitted while being used in quarters. The proposed system will eliminate cross contamination into training areas, meeting rooms, administrative offices, medical equipment, supplies, computers, firefighter turnouts, and physical fitness equipment. On going maintenance costs and painting cost due to soot build up will be eliminated. Measurable results include the reduction in future medical claims, workmen's compensation claims, operational and maintenance costs, energy costs, and absenteeism. By providing a safe clean environment, other favorable results include increased firefighter participation in drills and meetings, and increased use of our facilities for community events. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The San Bemardino Fire Department is an all risk agency that provides fire protection to over 198,550 residents in a 64 square mile area. We respond to over 25,000 calls annually, with an increase in calls every year without an increase in funding. 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. SBFD is a participating member in the California Master Mutual Aid Agreement, responding to any request for aid in the state. 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. As a result, departments in our county and the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Tribal Fire Department will utilize the exhaust extraction system when responding to our stations for automatic/mutual aid requests. SBFD staffs twelve engine companies, two aerial truck companies, air light support, hazmat unit, heavy rescue unit, five brush engines, two aircraft rescue firefighting vehicles, and reserve apparatus that are housed in twelve stations throughout the City. It is the largest city in the County and serves as the County seat. SBFD is requesting funding from the 2007 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 services and fire protection possible by providing adequate facilities that meet the needs of our residents and fire personnel. We thank you in advance for your consideration and effort in this process. .
