Shuttered Flint (MI) Fire Station to Reopen in July

A south-side fire station is expected to open by the end of July, according to Flint Fire Chief Raymond Barton. City officials said in September that Station 8, on Atherton Road, would reopen after the city received a $3.767 million grant to hire 33 firefighters via the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response, or SAFER, grant program.

The Flint Fire Department would increase from 54 firefighters to 87, Barton said. There also are 10 administrative positions within the department.

Firefighters per shift would be at 24, which is an increase from 14, Barton said.

Santa Barbara (CA) Fire Department Trains During Drought Using 'Pump-Pod'

Recycling water has even become a priority during the drought for fire departments as they train their crews on using the complicated pump that sends water from fire engines through hose lines for crews battling structure, vehicle, and wild-land fires. City of Santa Barbara fire crews tested a “Pump-Pod” on Friday that can capture thousands of gallons of water as crews train. The high-volume flow is then recycled and re-used during further sessions.

Town of Alabama Volunteer Fire Department Gets FM Global Grant

The Town of Alabama Volunteer Fire Department has received a $1,500 fire prevention grant from FM Global, one of the world’s largest commercial property insurers.

The award will be used to assist with prefire planning to efficiently collect and track data related to local community buildings. The information will help the fire service respond in an emergency situation.

Because fire continues to be the leading cause of property damage worldwide, during the past 40 years FM Global has contributed millions of dollars in fire prevention grants to fire service organizations around the globe. The company has awarded grants to a number of New York-based organizations.
