MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Tony Prior, Fire Chief
DATE: September 24, 2020
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3164-2020 Marathon Petroleum Foundation Grant
I was approached by the Fire Chief of Marathon Petroleum to apply for a grant program they have,
which is available to the City. In the event of a fire at Marathon's Nikiski facility, we would most
likely provide auto -aid to the Nikiski Fire Department to respond and assist with firefighting efforts
as we have in the past.
We have established a working relationship with Marathon's Fire Brigade, and we conduct joint
training annually with their group that is mutually beneficial. As part of that training, one technique
is moving "Big Water," which involves moving portable ground monitors capable of flowing 500
gallons per minute. The piece of equipment we are requesting funding for is a portable ground
monitor.
This particular monitor will be placed on our newest engine that is capable of flowing higher
gallons per minute than any of our other fire engines. If called to the Marathon facility in Nikiski, a
high-flow apparatus and monitor would be ideal for the high fire potential of that facility. Once we
receive this monitor, we will schedule and conduct training with the Nikiski Fire Department and
Marathon's Fire Brigade to test our equipment's capabilities and develop pre -fire plans for that
facility. This type of training also fulfills the requirement by the Insurance Service Office (ISO) to
conduct joint training with auto aid/mutual aid agencies.
Your consideration of accepting this grant is greatly appreciated
