2 Memorandum To: From: Date: Re: Robert DiSpirito, City Ma~er «~ Jeffrey Parks, Fire Chief(/ February 24, 2014 FEMA Fire Prevention Grant Request The Fire Prevention Division, in conjunction with the Training Division, receives several requests throughout the year to provide a fire extinguisher safety program to various business, daycares, and City departments. They have even provided training to the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office for the last few years. In the past, they were able to use a gas-fueled fire ring for demonstration purposes, but as that equipment aged, it became unrepairable and unsafe to use. Currently, they have only provided a video tape program and had a fire extinguisher available for students to review. The FEMA Fire Prevention grant application process is currently open from February 18 - March 21 this year. The grant will allow for the purchase of an advanced, laser-driven extinguisher training system that will greatly enhance the presentation of the fire extinguisher training course. This system will allow for safe and interactive training in the proper use of fire extinguishers. The goal is for indoor training in a realistic environment, and to save the cost of refilling LP tanks and C02 fire extinguishers as was done in the past. The training unit will even grade the user on their effectiveness of extinguishing the fire. Fire Prevention has received a quote from the BullEx company for a complete package training set at a cost of$15, (Shipping included). The grantee cost sharing for this grant year is 5%, or $ for this specific unit. I have informed the City Finance Department of our desire to apply for this year' s grant and they have given permission to proceed. I would like to request permission from the City Commission and yourself to apply for this year's FEMA Fire Prevention grant to purchase a laser-driven fire extinguisher training system. If you need any additional information, or if you have any questions, please contact me at

5 Bull Ex ~ LASER-DRIVEN EXTINGUISHER TRAINING SYSTEM BullsEye uses advanced laser technology to simulate the discharge of dry-chemical or C0 2 extinguishers for a completely clean, safe and cost effective training experience. BullsEye senses where the user aims and sweeps a laser training extinguisher and automatically varies the LED driven digital flames in response. For training variation, the BullsEye system can also b~ used with the standard air/ water SmartExtinguisher. This allows your trainees to learn how to effectively use a ~re extinguisher in their actual work environment. Training can now take place completely indoors- allowing you to train anywhere, anytime. [BULLSEYE FEATURES CLEAN The BullsEy~pctingu isher uses a conical laser to replicate discharge rather than depending on a dry-chemical or C0 2 extinguisher. COST EFFECTIVE In many cases, organizations can save more than the cost of a training system in the first year alone. Laser-driven training extinguishers plus reduced set-up and clean-up times mean you can train more people in less time. OVER» 0 LEFT I BULLSEYE DIGITAL FIRE AND laser EXTINGUISHER
