City of Tamarac Personal Protective Equipment Proposal
PROJECT NARRATIVE
Please describe in full the project that you are requesting to be funded.
Tamarac, with a population of 55,588, has realized tremendous growth over the past 5
years. This rapid growth has been accompanied by the addition of 48 firefighters
between 1996 and 2001 resulting in the present-day staff of 88 firefighters. The
proposal would provide 44 SCBA units, thus serving to further protect the health and
safety of those firefighters on staff who do not currently have this personal protective
equipment.
The proposal, should it be funded, will ensure that 100% of the firefighters who respond
to an alarm are equipped with personal safety equipment 100% of the time.
Please provide a detailed description of your planned uses of the grant funds for
each major budget category as listed on the budget form (SF20-20).
Object Class 10 h (other — PPE/SCBA)
Funding to be utilized for purchase of 44 SCBA Units consisting of:
Scott Air Pack Fifty w/ mask 44 @ $2340 per unit $102,960
Scott 30 minute cylinder 44 @ $623 per unit $ 27,412
Scott Pack Alert Mask 44 @ $425 per unit $ 18,700
SCBA mask Bag 44 @ $9.00 per unit $ 396

City of Tamarac Personal Protective Equipment Proposal
Please explain why this program would be beneficial to your community and/or to
our department.
According to the United States Fire Administration's.(USFA) National Fire Data Center,
firefighter fatalities in calendar year 1999 were the highest in 10 years, and the first time
the number of deaths topped 100 since 1994 and reversing a four-year downward trend
in firefighter fatalities. Asphyxiation was among the top four leading causes of death.
SCBA is the most important piece of personal equipment used by firefighters. It
enables them to breath clean air and function in smoke filled or otherwise contaminated
environments. Additionally, SCBA enables firefighters to get to the seed of the fire more
quickly.
Tamarac Fire and Rescue has established a response time objective of arrival within 6
minutes, 90% of the time, from the time of dispatch. As the population of Tamarac has
increased, so too has the service demand. An analysis of response demand reveals
that, during calendar year 1999, Tamarac Fire and Rescue response performance was
7 minutes 55 seconds 90% of the time. It is essential that a sufficient number of fully
equipped firefighters are able to enter the scene quickly in order to both suppress the
fire and perform rescue operations.
2
City of Tamarac Personal Protective Equipment Proposal
In additional to responding to fires within the City limits, Tamarac Fire and Rescue has
developed mutual and automatic aid agreements with the surrounding Cities and
renders assistance as needed.
Under the current conditions, approximately 50% of Tamarac's active firefighters have
SCBA. By equipping all active firefighters in the department with SCBA, both the level of
performance and level of safety associated with firefighting will increase.
By providing each active firefighter with SCBA 100% of the Tamarac responders will be
equipped and ready to enter the scene immediately upon arrival.
Please explain why this project cannot be funded solely through local funding.
Because of other demands placed on the system, largely due to rapid expansion and
growth, sufficient funding is not available locally to provide the additional units needed
so that all firefighters have this personal protective equipment.
Please provide any additional relevant information that you would like us to
consider when evaluating your application .
This equipment not only provides firefighters with the ability to aggressively attack
hostile fires and perform lifesaving rescues of fire victims, it also provides for the health
and safety of the firefighters involved. Inhalation of the by-products of combustion has
3
City of Tamarac Personal Protective Equipment Proposal
the potential to cause immediate debilitation of the firefighter and also poses
cumulative, long-term health risks. The availability of SCBA for each firefighter on the
fire ground will reduce the incidence of firefighter injury as well as reducing the severity
of injury to fire victims and reducing property loss by allowing rapid extinguishments.
