Attn: Commander Gene Borg
Dear Gene:
The Chanhassen Fire Department is continually striving to be a leader both in the community and in the
county with our hazardous materials response unit. Whereas industry and transportation are on the
increase both in and through the community, so does the risk of an accident. This is where the
Chanhassen Legion comes in. Currently we are looking for financial assistance to purchase the
following equipment.
Th~ first is a Drager CMS (chip measurement system). This is a state of the art measuring tool used for
monitoring leaks of such chemicals as ammonia, chlorine, hydrogen cyanide, and other toxic gases. The
Chanhassen Fire Department HazMat Group has conducted extensive research and has come to the
conclusion that this is the best piece of monitoring equipment for our current and future needs.
The second type of equipment is portable radio headsets. These headsets would be used by our pump
operators when operating the equipment in a high noise environment. Oftentimes, crucial voice
communication must be maintained between the firefighters doing interior firefighting operations and the
pump engineers. These headphones would help insure that radio communication will be heard and
understood clearly.
I broke the cost down for you to review. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call me at
937-1900 ext. 132.
The Chanhassen Fire Department would like to graciously thank you for your continued support. Any
time we can be of assistance to you. please don't hesitate to call.
Mr. Gene Borg
