Attach documentation as necessary Training Division HHS - The Insurance Service Organization (ISO) grades fire departments across the country currently Hoboken is the only municipality in New Jersey graded as a Class I town. This equates to lower fire insurance for both residential and commercial owners of property in town. However they recently reevaluated our Division and its grading classification and found several deficiencies, we need to provide more in-service training at a facility that has a Drill Tower and Burn building. This has to be done at a recognized Fire Academy. We need to maintain our Class I grading and to do so we will need to send fire apparatus and firefighters to an academy for this training. The training division is essential to insure that our firefighters are capable to provide the level of service the community has come to expect from its Fire Department. We do this in many ways one of which is through sophisticated software programs that can provide computerized simulations where firefighters can practice their skills in a classroom setting. We maintain a video library that is available for their use and we consistently update those videos to insure that the latest firefighting techniques are being used to protect the citizens of our community. We at times have brought in outside experts to deliver specialized training that we can’t provide for ourselves through our own personnel. Publications - The Hoboken Fire Division subscribes to a number of periodicals that not only are essential to the good running of the Fire Division but also excellent for training purposes. Many periodicals provide valuable articles concerning appropriate firefighting techniques for a variety of emergencies that are used as a training medium.

This building is continually visited by the public for their dealings with the Fire Division. It is imperative that it be maintained in a manner that provides an air of respect and professionalism for the public. As such it requires the same type of care that fire stations need including painting, office furniture, public restrooms etc. All environmental controls are necessary to maintain reasonable temperatures and living requirements in all Fire Division Buildings. AirPurifiers Firehouse Vents Repairs - Every fire apparatus is driven by a combustion diesel engine which produces diesel exhaust One of the by-products of diesel exhaust is Benzene. Benzene is a known carcinogen and every effort is made to provide for the health & safety of the firefighters operating this apparatus. It is necessary to have these extraction systems attached to the fire apparatus as they are started up to prevent these fumes from permeating the fire stations and living quarter areas. Maintenance Service Contracts - The Hoboken Fire Division has an auxiliary emergency propane driven generator which will provide minimal power to operate Fire HQ’s main office area and more importantly our radio communications room. We are also requesting that identical back up generators are purchased and installed in each of our fire stations. This will insure that environmental controls, lighting etc will be in place allowing each fire station to be a viable emergency response assets as well as a safe haven for citizens of the community in need.

To insure that firefighters have the right equipment to mitigate any emergency we need to keep up with the maintenance, repair and replacement of that equipment. Additionally the uniqueness of firefighting requires us to also maintain a reserve of each of these items so they can immediately be replaced.

Drug and/or alcohol dependency, stress associated with work related dangers and familial issues. The success of this program has significantly reduced the costs associated with previous rehabilitation program costs. Consultant Fees/Doctor Fees - With the multitude of functions that the Hoboken Fire Division performs on a daily basis at times it becomes essential for outside consultants to assist us in our endeavors. Items such as radio communications setups, Marine Division activities, Hazardous Material Response, Urban Area Search Initiatives. Information technology for our website and our internal date recordkeeping software programs etc. Doctor’s fees associated with “Last Chance Agreements between the City and its employees, urine screenings after motor vehicle accidents, fitness for duty physicals, new recruit physicals and psychological evaluations are some examples of this line item. Medical Equipment & Training - Every new recruit is required by the Division to take a forty (40) hour First responder course. This is done so that if we are either called to assist the Hoboken Ambulance Corp or to respond in lieu of the Ambulance Corp we can provide the citizens of our community with a certain level of medical care until those with Paramedic capabilities can arrive at the scene to transport individuals to a hospital. There is also a CPR refresher that is required and also the First Responder program has a refresher component. We utilize one of our Fire Captains to deliver this training however the books and disposable equipment necessary to provide the training is fairly expensive. Additionally when we provide medical stabilization at an emergency there are disposable medical supplies utilized such as splints, neck braces etc that need to be replaced.

Annually by the nature of the work performed firefighters have damaged boots, gloves, helmets and protective coats and pants. Many times the Maintenance Officer can affect minor repairs to some of this equipment but just as many times it is irreparable and needs to be replaced. As an example the cost of a pair of structural firefighter gloves is over $50. Multiply that number times the number of firefighters requiring them and you get an understanding of the magnitude of this essential but costly line item.

Secondly it is an early warning system for any potential health problems amongst the men and women on the Hazmat Team. This reduces worker’s compensation claims, and costly overtime associated with long term ill health. 0

This equates to lower fire insurance for both residential and commercial owners of property in town. However they recently reevaluated our Division and its grading classification and found several deficiencies, we need to provide more in-service training at a facility that has a Drill Tower and Burn building. This has to be done at a recognized Fire Academy. We need to maintain our Class I grading and to do so we will need to send fire apparatus and firefighters to an academy for this training. The training division is essential to insure that our firefighters are capable to provide the level of service the community has come to expect from its Fire Department. We do this in many ways one of which is through sophisticated software programs that can provide computerized simulations where firefighters can practice their skills in a classroom setting. We maintain a video library that is available for their use and we consistently update those videos to insure that the latest firefighting techniques are being used to protect the citizens of our community. We at times have brought in outside experts to deliver specialized training that we can’t provide for ourselves through our own personnel. Publications - The Hoboken Fire Division subscribes to a number of periodicals that not only are essential to the good running of the Fire Division but also excellent for training purposes. Many periodicals provide valuable articles concerning appropriate firefighting techniques for a variety of emergencies that are used as a training medium.

This building is continually visited by the public for their dealings with the Fire Division. It is imperative that it be maintained in a manner that provides an air of respect and professionalism for the public. As such it requires the same type of care that fire stations need including painting, office furniture, public restrooms etc. All environmental controls are necessary to maintain reasonable temperatures and living requirements in all Fire Division Buildings. AirPurifiers Firehouse Vents Repairs - Every fire apparatus is driven by a combustion diesel engine which produces diesel exhaust One of the by-products of diesel exhaust is Benzene. Benzene is a known carcinogen and every effort is made to provide for the health & safety of the firefighters operating this apparatus. It is necessary to have these extraction systems attached to the fire apparatus as they are started up to prevent these fumes from permeating the fire stations and living quarter areas. Maintenance Service Contracts - The Hoboken Fire Division has an auxiliary emergency propane driven generator which will provide minimal power to operate Fire HQ’s main office area and more importantly our radio communications room. We are also requesting that identical back up generators are purchased and installed in each of our fire stations. This will insure that environmental controls, lighting etc will be in place allowing each fire station to be a viable emergency response assets as well as a safe haven for citizens of the community in need.

To insure that firefighters have the right equipment to mitigate any emergency we need to keep up with the maintenance, repair and replacement of that equipment. Additionally the uniqueness of firefighting requires us to also maintain a reserve of each of these items so they can immediately be replaced.

Medical Equipment & Training - Every new recruit is required by the Division to take a forty (40) hour First responder course.

There is also a CPR refresher that is required and also the First Responder program has a refresher component. We utilize one of our Fire Captains to deliver this training however the books and disposable equipment necessary to provide the training is fairly expensive. Additionally when we provide medical stabilization at an emergency there are disposable medical supplies utilized such as splints, neck braces etc that need to be replaced.

Secondly it is an early warning system for any potential health problems amongst the men and women on the Hazmat Team. This reduces worker’s compensation claims, and costly overtime associated with long term ill health. 0
