SUBJECT:
Ordinance 31742020 FM Global Grant
City of Kenai Fire Department was successful in receiving a grant from FM Global
(his://www.fmclobal.com/about-us/our-business) to purchase 2 iPads and accessories to be
used in our Fire Prevention efforts. As we continue to improve and enhance our Pre -Fire plans,
we identified aspects of our current plans and equipment that could be improved. We are able to
attach photos, upload GIS information, customize diagrams and share these with our neighboring
departments. The newer iPads have much better cameras for taking photos that can be uploaded
onto Pre -Fire Plans as well as photos taken during investigations of fire incidents. Currently our
Fire Marshal Hamilton is using an iPad from one of our Engines to do his daily work.
These 2 new iPads will be placed on our new utility trucks and will be used by the Fire Marshal
and crews when adding and updating Pre -Fire Plans. The Fire Marshal will also be using these
iPads daily during his annual inspections of businesses within the City. As an additional benefit,
these !Pads will be tied into our 911 response program (CrewForce). We currently use iPads on
our apparatus when responding to emergencies. We see the nature of the call, enter in accurate
response times, access GIS mapping of calls, access pre -fire plans, and can see the location of
additional units responding to the call.
The grant was submitted for $3,158 to cover the cost of 2 iPads with cases, mounting equipment,
software/licensing, and requires no match by our agency.
Your consideration of accepting this grant is greatly appreciated
