Approval for submission of FEMA grant opportunity, Bullex Fire Extinguish- training prop.
Background Summary:
Bullex Attack Fire Extinguisher prop, for training the public and fire personnel. This training prop can be used to
train the general public on how and when to use fire extinguishers properly. This program will be used in large
and small commercial companies, healthcare facilities, and daycare occupancies just to name a few. We will
also use it for the Citizens Academy each year. We have had several business owners and managers ask if we
could provide fire extinguisher training for them over the years. We believe this is a great way to lower risk of
injuries and fatalities due to fire along with educating the public how to react in a fire situation.
Issue:
Unit price $21,000 and the grant requires 10% match from the City if the grant is awarded.
Recommendations
Allow us to submit a grant application for the Fire Extinguisher grant by agreeing to pay the 10% or$2,100 if the
grant is awarded.
