Based on information provided by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), the biennial Washington State Budget includes an amount for OSPI to cover Fire Services provided to schools. In July of each year, OSPI calculates a per student rate for fire services. 

To calculate this, OSPI takes the annual School Fire Services budget and divides it by the number of preschool through grade 12 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) students reported to them. The resulting per student rate is then multiplied by the number of students each school certified to OSPI to determine the school’s annual Fire Services revenue. 

HURST Jaws of Life, Inc., an industry-leading global manufacturer of rescue tools, has added Anthony Morabito as northeast regional sales manager. A volunteer firefighter for more than 20 years, Morabito’s experience ranges from end-user expertise to almost 12 years as a HURST dealer.

“Anthony is the best of both worlds,” said Mike Canon, director of rescue sales for HURST Jaws of Life, Inc. “He has extensive experience not only in the field, but also at the dealer level. It’s this unique combination of fire service, sales and repair that makes him an invaluable member of our sales team. We look forward to learning a lot from him.”

Morabito comes to HURST from Firematic, where he worked as a dealer specializing in repairs, teaching HURST tool classes, airbag classes, and bailout system training. He also served as a terminal manager for an armored car company for 13 years. As a volunteer firefighter, Morabito held every rank from second lieutenant to chief as well as numerous certifications, and was nationally certified as a level 2 fire service instructor.

Morabito is most proud of his HURST Green Cross program patch, which he received in recognition of an early morning extrication of three teenagers; he was an assistant fire chief at the time.
