By Bob Vaccaro, FireRescue magazine

I think it’s safe to say that the 2009 Fire-Rescue International show, despite the dwindling economy, has been a huge success. The amount of apparatus on display, as well as all the equipment, equalled, if not exceeded, the amount displayed in past years.
For the most part, there weren’t any big announcements from the apparatus manufacturers, but that fit well with the theme of this year’s show, which was “Leadership for Tough Times.” Departments are having to do more with less manpower, and the apparatus reflected that need."

The Denison Fire Department is considering replacing its 1994 aerial truck equipped with a 75-foot ladder but no platform. That truck is nearing the end of its life span and is developing problems. The four aerial trucks demonstrated Wednesday each had a 100-foot ladder topped with a platform, something the Denison Fire Department wants.

Six companies had been invited to the demonstration. Four showed up – Smeal, E-One, Pierce and Crimson Fire."

"Hazmat Survival Tips: Surviving a Response to a Leak of Natural Gas
Beyond the Rule of Thumb
Survival Tip 40
By Steven De Lisi
Natural gas service is a fact of life in most urban and suburban areas, providing obvious benefits to a community's quality of life. However, it also presents the potential for serious injury and death to those first responders who fail to understand its unique characteristics during incidents involving uncontrolled releases. Among these is the fact that natural gas is lighter than air and odorless in its natural state. To aid the general public in detecting a leak, a very small amount of mercaptan, an odorant, is added. Mercaptan contains sulfur and gives natural gas an odor similar to that of rotten eggs"

Obama administration targets AFG cuts, SAFER increases for 2010

Obama administration targets AFG cuts, SAFER increases for 2010: "On Thursday, May 7th, the White House released the appendix for the Administration's Fiscal Year 2010 budget proposal, detailing requested funding levels for programs and offices in the federal budget. The Administration initially released a blueprint of the $3.6 trillion budget in February, giving a snapshot of the President's spending plan.

The Administration has proposed funding the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program at double the level it was funded in FY2009, increasing funding to $420 million for this crucial program. The United States Fire Administration (USFA) also receives a modest increase of approximately $600,000. The State Homeland Security Grant Program receives the same level of funding as FY2009 ($950 million) and the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) receives a $50 million increase.
Unfortunately the Administration proposes funding the popular FIRE grant program at only $170 million - a cut of nearly 70% from Fiscal Year 2009. The program, which received $3.2 billion in requests in Fiscal Year 2008, provides funding for critical equipment, training, and apparatus directly to local fire departments. The program also provides grants for fire prevention and safety programs and firefighter health and safety research.

While the Administration's budget proposal is meant to serve as a guideline for federal spending, Congress will ultimately determine funding levels for these programs. The House and Senate Appropriations Committees have begun work on crafting Fiscal Year 2010 spending bills. CFSI has reached out to members of Congress regarding the budget proposal and will continue to provide updates as the appropriations process moves forward."

Fire Line Equipment, LLC Newsletter: "House approves special spending to fight wildfires


Exasperated by the escalating cost of fighting wildfires, the House on Thursday overwhelmingly approved a bill to help pay for the next disaster. The bill, approved 412-3, would create a separate fund to cover the costs of combating major wildfires such as those that have devastated parts of California and other Western states in recent years. The bill now goes to the Senate.

Lawmakers in both parties have long complained that the Forest Service and other federal agencies routinely overspend their budgets for wildfires, figuring that additional money will be provided if needed. The Forest Service and Interior Department spent about $2.4 billion last year fighting fires, a $500 million increase over the previous year and double the average amount spent a decade ago.

Lawmakers hope a reserve fund will make it less likely the agencies will have to dip into other parts of their budgets that are dear to Congress members to fight fires. Spurred by global warming and drought, wildfire seasons have grown longer and more intense by the year, experts say. Fighting the fires is complicated by an increase in small trees and underbrush that serve as fuel for catastrophic blazes, and lawmakers said the money budgeted by the Forest Service to thin forests and clear underbrush is inadequate.

The special fund is dubbed the Federal Land Assistance Management and Enhancement Act, or FLAME. President Barack Obama in his budget proposed a similar fund for wildfires of $357 million. The House bill doesn't specify a dollar amount, which would be set later in spending bills."
