Accept $9,190.16 grant from Allianz Heritage's Fireman's Fund
for the purchase of SCBA Air Bottles.
MOTION
The City Council accepts the $9,190.16 grant from Allianz Heritage's Fireman's
Fund for the purchase of SCBA Air Bottles.
BACKGROUND
The Chanhassen Fire Department (CFD) applied for and received a grant in the
amount of $9,190.16 from the Fireman's Fund (a division of Allianz Heritage
Insurance Company). The grant will allow the CFD to purchase 8 SCBA bottles.
This purchase will allow firefighters at the scene of a fire to quickly exchange
empty air bottles for one of the pre-filled bottles, while the empty bottles are
taken back to the Fire Station for refilling.
The grant does not require any matching funds. The CFD will be scheduling a
grant presentation event at the Fire Station. Additionally, the Fireman's Fund will
be provided an opportunity to display their information at the annual Fire
Department Open House.
