In the past two months the �umber of arson fires has increased 100% in our city. (see attached graphic) So far this year we have only a 4°/a conviction rate, and most of those convictions are because we were able to capture the arsonist on videotape. We propose to purchase some arson investigation tools and equipment that will significantly increase the likelihood of conviction. Of primary importance to this grant is portable videotape equipment that will be used to monitor sites of arson sprees. We've experienced frequent arson fires set in the same building, alley, or parking lot. This portable video recording equipment can be utilized to monitor these sites and actually capture the arsonists in the act. Otherwise, we have been totaliy unabie to identify any suspects in these spree fires. This program wifl effect the entire Saint Paul community because arson strikes anywhere in the city. Our partners will be the Saint Paul Police Department, the Ramsey County Attorney's Office, and the State Fire Marshal Division. The role that each of these agencies plays in the detection, apprehension, and conviction of arsonists wiil benefit from improved detection and video documentation of arson fires in progress. Like most cities, Saint Paul cannot afford to increase iYs budget at this time. We've had to reduce our fire department by one entire fire company. Although we've done weil to avoid further cuts, no "new" money is available to further the fight against of arson. The effectiveness of this program wili be evaluated by tracking arson fire data throughout the city, graphing the data, illustrating the data on GIS mapping of the city, and by evaluating the effectiveness of our arson detection and documentation in the courts. Arson fires in vacant buildings, or where the fires are accelerated with burnable liquids, are especially dangerous to occupant and firefighters. We have to stop arson fires before anyone gets killed, including our firefighters. Project #2: We propose to provide smoke detectors to residents who do not already have them. We will register each recipient so that we can send them a card in the maii each year to remind them to change the batteries in their smoke detectors. Fire crews will install the new smoke detectors in situations where the residents are unable to do it themse{ves. Same goes for replacing the batteries each year. Lower-income people are the Ieast able to afford to buy their own smoke detectors. These lower-income people are also the most likely to have a fire. According to the NFPA, although 96% of homes have smoke detectors, 70% of home fires occur in homes with no smoke detectors. We will implement the program by having our fire crews go door-to-door in their response areas and offer to provide and instail smoke detectors in homes that lack them. Through partnerships with the 17 community councils, county health agencies, and the Red Cross we will identify absent homeowners who need detectors. We will continue the program beyond the running of this grant as other sources are available to us. The program will be evaluated by tracking each smoke detector and compare to our residentiai fires to determine their performance. Citywide we'll be able to track the overail effectiveness of smoke detectors from NFIRS data compiled. Once again, the city does not have the capability of budgeting "new" money for this project. City leaders have done well to maintain the Ievei of services we presentiy have. Fire prevention funding is oniy 4.7% of the fire departmenYs annual budget. Smoke detectors have reduced fire deaths significantly since the 1970s but that success is dependent upon each home having an operating smoke detector. That's what we're trying to accomplish with this project.
