PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Briefly describe the project. Please use generic words for products.
Funding is being sought to provide for installation of medical oxygen filling systems at Fire Stations
41 and 78 in the City of Tamarac and purchase of new portable oxygen tanks necessary to supply the
rescue systems. The project would provide for installation of a cascade system at Fire Station41 with four
(4) master tanks and at Fire Station 78, which would contain two (2) master tanks. The funding being
sought through this grant would also provide for the purchase of sixty (60) portable oxygen tanks.
The City currently relies on an outside vendor to replenish the portable oxygen tanks used by the
City's rescue crews. Funding requested through this grant process would provide an immediate source of
oxygen. EMS staff will be trained in system use and maintenance by the manufacturer.
EMS IMPROVEMENT AND EXPANSION
Briefly describe how this project will improve and expand prehospital EMS within
Broward County. For example: What is the need for this project? What is the situation
now? How will it change after the grant is completed?
As stated, the City currently relies on an outside vendor to replenish the portable tanks. Population
increases and increased service levels have translated to an increase in the demand for oxygen. It currently
takes between 1 and 2 Y2 days from placement of a call for the vendor to replace the depleted portable
units. On several occasions replacement of the oxygen source has been further delayed because the
vendor has not had a sufficient supply of portable oxygen bottles available. A cascade system on site would
provide an immediate source of oxygen.
Additionally, the median age of the population in Tamarac is 63. Many residents suffer from chronic
pulmonary disease and cannot survive without a constant supply of supplemental oxygen. These residents
rely upon oxygen generators or portable oxygen tanks. Oxygen generators depend on a reliable electrical
source and portable tanks provide a limited supply of the required element. These sources become
impossible to ensure during a period of extended power failure or restricted access. These situations are
frequently encountered during and in the aftermath of a hurricane. Special needs shelters cannot
accommodate these patients because they are considered medically dependent and would thus require
hospitalization, which is both costly and disruptive to the elderly.
A on site medical filling system would ensure a constant supply of oxygen is readily available for use
by rescue crews on a day-to-day basis and to those residents who are oxygen dependent in times of
disaster.
