Authorization
REQUEST: The Fire Department is informing the City Commission of receipt of grant funds to be
used to purchase a thermal imaging camera.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Commission item is to inform the Commission that a grant for
$15,000 has been received from a local private foundation with the sole purpose to
purchase an additional thermal imaging camera for the Fire Department.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
The Joseph G. Markoly foundation was created for the purpose of enhancing public
safety. The foundation has funded many projects, one being a previous grant for
$30,000 to the City of Winter Springs Fire Department for the purchase of three (3)
"LiteLift" pneumatic patient stretchers to be used in each of the rescue units for patient
transport, and one (I) "demonstrator" "Codemaster" cardiac monitor/defibrillator.
The foundation was approached with an idea to purchase an additional thermal
imaging camera for the fire department so that a camera could be placed in-service on
both Engine's 24 & 26. The foundation approved this request and has granted the
department $15,000 for the purchase of the equipment.
A Thermal Imaging Camera allows a firefighter to see through smoke to detect the heat
signature of the human body or the source of a fire. This product then allows for quick
rescue of the victim or helps determine the exact location of the source for rapid
extinguishment.
