I wrote and was successful ten years ago in getting p-25 radios for my department. Those radios are now at the end of their life cycle, will be obsolete, and I have been tasked to write another grant. I can't remember if the number of radios purchased is related to the number of seats in the response vehicles. I checked the guide and did not find any specific information. I do remember it clearly when I wrote an SCBA grant. Maybe I am confusing them. Does anyone know the answer? Thanks for the help.

Portables are like SCBA, 1 per seat on pumpers, aerials, and rescues (any type) with a minimum of 4 per apparatus. All other vehicles get 1 portable. It's also a minimum of 12 portables per department, same as SCBA since that's the only way you can comply with 2in/2out and proper NIMS/ICS. So even if you have 1 2-seat pumper and a brush truck, you still get 12 portables do put wherever you can fit them. Also, for those that don't have a command vehicle assigned to the Chief you can request 1 mobile and 1 portable for the Chief's POV, but just the Chief, not Assistants, Deputies, or Battalions.If God be for us, who can be against us. Jesus said, I am the way the truth and the light.

EMT6126 - To clarify your reply above - If a request contains radios for seated positions in engines, aerials, rescue and 1 Chief vehicle, can it also include battalion chief, fire prevention and other operations support vehicles at 1 mobile and or 1 portable for each?
