The Saint Paul Fire Department provides fire, rescue, and emergency medical services to a resident population of 287,151. Our
response area is home to critical infrastructure including our state capitol and associated government facilities, miles of main line
railway and interstate freeway, an airport, hosprtals, arenas, severai large utility groups, and commercial facilities that support the
surrounding metro area of 2.8 million people.
Our department has a total of 416 sworn positions. Each operational shift is comprised of one deputy chief, 3 district chiefs. 16
engine companies, 7 ladder companies, and 3 rescue squads. Eleven of the engine companies dual-staff ALS ambulances We
staff speaalty units including the state's only Hazmat Emergency Response Entry team, a Chemical Assessment team, and we
have 50 members on the state's Coilapse Rescue team
fn 2008, we responded to 42,87D incidents. We have an average response time of 3.1 minutes We provide mutual aid to
multipie departments. Being the state's oniy Hazmat Emergency Response Entry team and a core component of Minnesota Task
Force One, our response area expands to include the entire state of Minnesota. This grant would not only benefit our
department, but also any fire department in the state requiring our assistance
The following paragraphs outline our 2009 AFG Project Description. Following that, we describe our finanaal need, cosUbenefit
analysis, and conclude with our statement of effect as required by the program guidance
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Totai Request: $807,100
-Activity. Vehicle Exhaust Removal Systems - $426,400
This activity will provide for vehicle exhaust removal systems for 13 of our 16 stations. Of the other three stations not included in
this request, one station is two years old and has an acceptable exhaust system The other two stations are slated to be closed
in 2010 and merged to a new single statron where an exhaust system wiN be budgeted rnto the cost of the station. Of the
remaining 13 stations, quotes showed an average of $32,800 per station to provide exhaust removal systems for the 39 vehicles
at those stations
AII of these stations are staffed w�th fu14-time personne! who work a 24-hour shift schedule All of the stations involved are more
than 30 years old, with the oldest two stations being built in 1908 Ail 13 stations have living quarters attached to the apparatus
floors. There are obvious signs of exhaust entering many of the living quarters with black marks around doors and on the
ceilings The building maintenance department has even installed intake filters on the HVAC systems in many of the stations to
protect the large paRiculates from entenng the HVAC a�r returns for the stations.
About one third of the apparatus bays have no exhaust removal systems. The other two thirds have antiquated systems that are
over ten years old and that do not capture 100% of the engine exhaust The current systems are set on timers that do not
coincide with vehicle start up and they can shut down pnor to the vehicle leaving the bay They are ineffective for vehicles
backing into the stations when returning to quarters. The large magnetic couplers are ineffective and have actually caused
considerable damage to apparatus over the years of service.
As you look at the data from the leading organizations concemed about the health and safety of firefighters, the value of exhaust
capture is an obvious pnonty The NIOSH and the Federal OSHA have both declared that human exposure to diesel exhaust is
an °occupational carcinogen�c hazard". NFPA 1500 states that "the carcmogenic effects of diesel exhaust are present even if the
particulates are filtered out of the exhausY' and recommends that no less than 100 percent effective exhaust capture is
acceptable.

Even low doses of carbon monoxide contained in diesel exhaust, can double the risk of heart attacks. When nitrogen dioxide
attaches to the carbon particles of diesel exhaust. it is able to travel deep into the lungs, where it collects along the bronchial-
alveolar network and damages the lung's defense mechanisms Diesel exhaust can also penetrate into dothmg, furniture. and
oiher items which fiire fighters routinely come into contact with, where d can iater absorb into a firefighier's skin.
The exhaust systems funded by this grant wiil meet all applicable mandates and standards and wiil provide for 100 percent
exhaust capture by seal at the vehicie exhaust pipe and discharge outside of the bwidmgs The total costs covered by this grant
activfty includes all equipment components and installation If awarded ail of our personnel will be adequately protected from this
signifcant hazard with standardized systems, interchangeable with any necessary vehicle relocations.
RIT Equipment and Thermal Imagers
The remaining activities listed in the budget are for RIT equipment, thermal imaging devices, and necessary training All
components are designed to standardize our RIT capabilities as well as allow us to focus on firefighter safety and survival and
the protection of life and property We currently have only seven companies that have been equipped and trained for RIT
operations. Our desire is to standardize equipment and training so that any company arriving on an incident scene can be
assigned to the RIT function. This wil{ be in Iine with national trends and wil{ a{low our incident commanders to assign companies
to work based on the needs of the incident as companies arrive on scene.
-Activity: RIT Packs - $6A,000
We are requesting 16 RIT packs budgeted at $4,000 each. These RIT packs include a one-hour air cylinder, regulator, face
piece, carry straps, and universal RIT connection hose. They will be compatible with our current SCBA and meet all applicable
standards for SCBA RIT systems. The universal connections will allow us to be compatible with any of our mutual aid neighbors
The addition of these RIT packs to our current cache wiil allow us to have a RIT pack on every front line apparatus. This will be
doubly benefiaal in the event that more than one firefighter is caught in a mayday situation or for extended RIT operations
-Activity: RIT Rope Bags - $7,800
We are requesting 26 R1T rope bags budgeted at $300 each. The RIT rope bags will contain 200' of RIT rope and 2 carabiners.
These rope bags will be used for search and rescue or to lead out from an entrapped firefighter. We currently do not have any
RIT rope and are relying on used technical rescue rope or utility rope that does not meet current industry standards for search
and rescue.
-Activity: Stokes Baskets - $5,750
We are requesting ten stainless-steel stokes baskets budgeted at $600 each. These will replace several antiquated or damaged
stokes baskets on our fadder trucks or provide new baskeis for aeriais or rescue squads with no stokes baskets. We have found
that the stokes baskets allow for engine or Iadder companies assigned to the RIT function to be able to collect, transport, and
stage equipment needed for the RIT even if the equipment come off of other apparatus on the scene. The stokes basket is then
readily accessible as another tool to be used for firefighter or victim removal.
-Activity Strobe Lights - $1,300
We are requesting 26 strobe lights budgeted at $50 each. These strobes will be used with all RIT packs. We utilize these strobes
to mark firefighter locations, hazards such as holes, stairs, or to even mark egress exits These strobes cut are designed to cut
through the smoke and to be visible in IDLH atmospheres.
-Activity: Thermal Imaging Devices - $160,000
We are requesting 16 thermal imaging devices, one for each station in our city, budgeted at $10,000 each. We currently own
several brands of thermal imagers Ten of our 13 current imagers are over nine years old and are experiencing significant "out of
service" times due to the heavy use and antiquated design and components They are extremely unreiiable and are becoming
prone to fadure during fires As such, they are not being used as firefighters are losmg falth in their reliability
There are three other imagers and each is a different style which proves difficult to offer standardized training based on the
different ages and technologies of the imagers. We are also experienang significant costs for battery replacement with batteries
costing around $350 each Many of the battenes m seroice have short charge lives and they are adding to the unrellability of the
devices
New thermal imagers are now becoming more firefighter friendly and sized to work effectively in the condit�ons firefighters are
exposed to Additionally, many are now being powered with over the counter batteries like AA-battenes or watch styie battenes.
This will signiflcantly reduce annual cost for battery replacement and allow us to keep adequate spare batteries on hand for
when they are needed The new imagers will not only allow us to significantly improve our RIT operations and Search and
Rescue ski4{s, but wiA also be avadable for overhau{, hazardous matenals responses, and a host of other app4ications for which

App]ication Number: EMW-2009-FO-08689 Page 21 of 29

the fire service is learning to use these necessary tools.
The award of 16 thermal imagers will also ailow us to strategicaliy locate these devices in each of our districts and guarantee
that one of the fiirst apparatus on scene will have this tool as an option to find the fire or aid in a rescue. The standardized
imagers will also allow us to provide standardized training for all personnel and will budd better confidence for firefighters that
move from station to station covering vacancies and assignments.
-Activity: Thermal Imager Training - $81,600
With the award of new thermal imagers, it presses the need tor standardized training for ali personnel We have had no focused,
department-wide training in many years and this grant will allow us to educate many frefghters who have had little to no
structured thermal imager training. The grant will further allow us to standardize operating procedures and maintenance policies
This thermal imager training will be contracted through a certifed agency that will focus on thermal imaging technology and use
from a firefighting perspective. Ciassroom and hands-on training will be provided for 100% of ali personnel. Each 8-hour class
will be limited to 12 students, which requires us to budget for 34 sessions at $2,400 per session. These small sessions wifl allow
for proper student-to-instructor ratios and wili ensure that all firefighters get adequate hands-on time with the new imagers.
The training will be hosted at ouf tsaining division and will utilize our burn building AI{ training wifl be done with on-duty personnel
as part of the normal training schedule There wili be no significant costs above the amount provided by this grant. This
standardized training will enable us to properly and safely utilize these devices and will prepare training staff to continue this
standardized training in-house for future firefighters.
-Actroity: RIT and FireSghter Safety/Surwval Training -$60,000
With the decision to train all personnel to the RIT function capabilities, it poses a significant training challenge. We are fortunate
to have several members of the department who are already trained to the instructor level in RIT techniques. The downside is
that we have a very short-staffed training division and absolutely no budget for additional personnel to be detailed to the training
division for the manpower intensive training sessions that the RIT courses tend to be.
The requested $60,000 in personnel costs will allow us to temporarily assign three extra person�el to the training division for a
period of six weeks to manage and provide these department-wide hands-on training evolutions necessary for the success of
this program expansion. The grant monies will be used for overtime backfiil for those three positions vacated so that no fire
companies are operated short-staffed. The training will be instructor-led and students will be tested to show proficiency and
comprehension of all components of the training.
No additional personnel costs are requested, as this training wiil be scheduled within the department's normal training schedule.
The training will allow 100% of our operations-level personnel to attend 8 hours of instructor-led instruction. The curriculum wili
convey industry accepted RIT tactics and techniques
FINANCIAL NEED
Our fire department has a total current operating budget of just over $51 million Our personnel costs make up 90% of the
budget. The city is fortunate to be able to fully staff full-time fire, rescue, and emergency medical services, but due to the
associated operating costs and the number of services that our department provides, our available funding for additional
programs, trainfng, and eqwpment Is limited. To compound our finandal situation, the State of Minnesota has had consecutroe
budget shortfalis for the past six years and they have made large cuts to local government aid programs.
The City of Saint Paul absorbed massive cuts in state afd from 2003 to 2008 and is expecting more cuts over the next two years,
possibly up to $26 million. Simdar to most cities, the public is resistant to tax increases while at the same time expecting a v�ider
array of services and our system is bemg stressed beyond our means
Our 5re department has continued to remain positively focused on our long-term goals even in the tace of ineasurable setbacks
As with many departments around the nation, we find ourselves being asked to do more with less and many times this ultimately
compromises firefighter safety. Our department has made it a goai to mcrease funding in the areas of trainmg and equlpment
through outside sources. but the current economy has not been helpful. We have formed a committee of department personnel
to work on alternative funding sources. This grant committee is dedicated to succeed at efforts such as the Assistance to
Firefighters Act Grant, as relying on traditional means is, unfortunate{y, no longer a practical option

The investment in this grant pro�ect will better equip Saint Paul's firefighters to respond to the incidents to which we are
summoned. This immediate investment in equipment and training will pay off in long-term results by safely protecting our
firefighters while they effectively respond to an ever-widening variely of incidents. 11 wdl furiher protect the department. city, and
taxpayers from the long-term costs associated with working with sub-standard equipment and training, as well as reduce liability
issues involved with fire loss, firefighter injuries, and long-term exposure to the effects of exhaust in the fire stations
The RIT equipment. thermal imagers, and associated training wiil better prepare us with standardized equipment evenly
distributed across our response area and give firefighters new knowledge to better protect life and property The vehicle exhaust
removal systems wili provide safer quarters for our fre companies and will address the long-term costs of fireflghter health and
wellness as weli as considerable cost reduction regarding fire station maintenance. All of the equipment and training activities in
this grant will bnng us into comphance with Minnesota OSHA Fire Bngade °General Duty° Standards and Minnesota State
Statute 182.653 regarding workplace safety and known hazards. The equipment will also allow us to comply with NFPA
recommendahons and industry standards in regards to the topics of concem.
This entire grant award will be a long-term win for the community as we save them the impact of multiple financial burdens and
at the same time better prepare ourselves to protect them. The savings afforded to our short-range budget needs will ailow us to
prioritize many other smaller, yet equally deserving projects over the next few years This award will allow us to do more by
elimi�ating several cost burdens that would othenn�ise be priority above other important goals
STATEMENI OF EFFECT
The activities requested by this grant are the outcome of departmentai research on how to make ourjobs safer while providing a
better level of service to our community. Our fire department prides itself on being safe while aggressive in our approach to the
incidents to which we are dispatched. In an attempt to provide the best service possible, while at the same time promoting
firefighter safety, we believe that we have identified several achievable solutions to the problems that we face on a daily basis.
The award of this grant will allow us to overcome the financial restraints that are prohibiting us from doing ourjob in the safest
way possible.
The fact of the matter is that if this grant is not awarded, we will still respond when called to do the best job we can with the tools
and training that we have available. Firefighters and civilians alike will share the risk potential if we cannot significantly address
the inadequacies described in this grant request. All of the items that we have requested will greatly enhance our ability to
protect our community and our neighboring communities to which we respond. At the same time, all of the items requested will
enable us to pertorm ourjob better, with pride, and with a higher level of safety arid confidence.
Our current city management fully supports our fire department, but due to events affecting the budget there are oniy so many
available funds to distribute between many of the city's essentiai services. Even in the face of setbacks, we have continued to
make positive progress over the past few years and we will continue to move fonnrard towards our goals We realize that you will
undoubtedly see thousands of equally qualified requests from departments of all sizes. We understand that not all of these
departments will be fortunate enough to receive a grant this year and we hope that we have convinced you of our pro�ecYs
worthiness. We also want to thank those of you reviewing this application for your time and dedication to this process and to the
fire service.
We can assure you that the members of the Saint Paul Fire Department have a commitment, second to none, to protect the
community that we serve and that this grant will have far-reaching results in our goal to be the safest fire department in the
nation. This grant award would ailow our fire department a safer, more definitive edge as we prepare to deal with the incidents
we are familiar with, as well as the new incidents that all of our departments across the nation are preparing for in the decades to
come We appreciate your consideration of this grant request and we look forward to your positive response.
