In it we are requesting a $5, 000.00 increase in the ambulance account and a $5, 000.00 increase in the general fire account. There are two areas of concern that we are addressing with this budget: Emergency Medical Services: At the present time the Groton Fire Department has begun a New York State approved Emergency Medical Technician course. There is an enrollment of 32 people, 12 of whom are current Fire Department members and several of the other enrollees have expressed a desire to join the Ambulance Squad upon completion of their training. The course is being held two nights a week and will allow for a completion date 6 months from its start. This is an incentive to the enrollees, because the other option is to take the EMT Course at TC-3 which takes 2 semesters to complete. Rehabilitation of the Self Contained Breathing Apparatus units: The Fire Department has 16 SCBA units. According to the NFPA 1500 (copy attached) we need to rehabilitate the regulators on all of our current units. The cost of conversion is approximately $7, 000 .00 . Any new units will also have to comply. We have reviewed the budget and have made the necessary changes to maintain and improve both the fire and ambulance service to our community members. Please feel free to contact us if you should have any questions, or if we can be of further assistance. Your time and consideration in this matter is appreciated.

A11 Righu Reserved NFPA 1500 Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program 1987 Edition This edition of NFPA 1500, Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Fire Service Occupa- tional Safety and Health, and acted on by the National Fire Protection Association, Inc. at its Annual Meeting held May 18-21, 1987 in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was issued by the Standards Council on July 17, 1987, with an effective date of August 7, 1987. The 1987 edition of this standard has been approved by the American National Standards Institute. Origin and Development of NFPA 1500 \ Fire fighting has been recognized as the most hazardous occupation in North Amer- ica in terms of occupational death and injury statistics. Each year in recent history, over 100 line-of-duty deaths have been recorded among career and volunteer fire fighters in the United States alone. The statistics compiled annually by NFPA on fire service deaths and injuries are more than sufficient evidence to demonstrate the need for increased efforts to reduce this toll. In addition to the direct line-of-duty deaths, there is gro,.ti ing concern with the number of fir` fighters who suffer disabling injuries or develop occupational diseases and conditions that often have debilitating or fatal consequences and force th,m to discontinue their fire service activities. The link between respiratory and heart diseases and fire serice careers has been wri _umenced and established. There is growing evidence of a similar link to cancer and related diseases, derived from occupational ex- posure to carcinogens, toxic products of combustion, and hazardous materials. The fire service is not only involved in fire suppression activities, but has an increas- ing role in the delivery of emergency medical and rescue services and response to in- cidents involving hazardous materials. The fire fighter may be exposed to a wide range of dangers arising from these activities that present an even more complex set of oc- cupational health and safety concerns. There is a growing concern, as well. with the aspects of fire department activities and functions that are directly related to stress and the emotional and psychological consequences of providing emergency services. Prior to this document, there was no consensus standard for an occupational safety and health program for the fire service. Fire service organizations are increasingly sub- ject to regulations chat were developed for general industry and do not provide for many of the specific needs and concerns of an organiza,tibn involved in the delivery of • emergency services. Depending on governmental-authority and legislative actions, a fire service organization may or may not be subject to mandatory occupational health and safety requirements. The intent of this standard is to provide the framework for a safety and health pro- gram for a fire department or any type of organization providing similar services. The use of the term "member" throughout to refer to an individual who engages in any of the activities subject to the standard, and the generic use of the term "tire department" to refer to any organization engaging in activities of a similar nature is 1500-2 FIRE DEPARTMENT OCCUPATIONAL.SAFETY AND IIEAI.TII 1'RO(:RA\t intended to support the applicability of this standard to career, volunteer, mixed career and volunteer, part-time, private, military, and public sector organizations of any type that engage in the activities normally associated with a fire department. Cer- tain provisions would only apply to those members who may be engaged in specified activities, but the overall applicability of the standard would encompass anyone who operates under the auspices of the organization. This standard is meant to be appropriate for voluntary compliance, as a state-of- the-art document, whether or not it is adopted as a mandatory requirement by an au- thority having regulatory jurisdiction over a particular organization. It was the intent of the Technical Committee to produce a document that would meet or exceed any ex- isting mandatory or voluntary compliance standards addressing any aspect of fire fighter safety and health. The Standard is intended to be an umbrella document, establishing the basic framework for a comprehensive safety and health program, and providing for its Im- plementation and management. A series of companion documents, each providing more specific details on various aspects and components of fire service occupational safety and health, are planned to further support this umbrella document. The Technical Committee on Fire Service Occupational Safety and Health began work on this document in November, 1983 and had several meetings in different parts of the country. This first edition was completed in April, 1986 for the 1987 Annual Meeting cycle, and was voted on by the Association on 20 %lay 1987 at the Cincinnati. Ohio Annual Meeting. 1967 Edition COMMITTEE PERSONNEL 1500-3 Technical Committee on Fire Service Occupational Safety and Health Alan V. Brunacini, Chairman City of Phoenix Fire Dept.. AZ Don R.
