Trench rescue equipment

[CTJAKE]

Anybody have any luck with getting trench rescue equipment or any specialized equipment?

A couple. Not too many request go in for tech rescue over all, but it's an eligible project and put together properly for the right department it can/will get funded.

We have applied for specialized rescue equipment for the past two grant periods, made it to peer but got DJ'd both times. Prior to that we were 3 for 4.

All of mine weren't new missions per the PG, so that may be one difference if y'all haven't made any leaps in that direction. All the ones I had funded had some equipment and some NFPA certified Rescue Techs, so that makes it an enhancement not a new mission.

Tech rescue equip

Three weeks ago we received the confirmation for the 2006 grant period for the following tech rescue equipment: 1-Supplied Air Cart, 2-high pressure 60 min cylinders, 4 supplied air respirators w/escape cylinder and 300’ of air hose for each respirator. As BC79er stated previously, this is to expand or further an already existing heavily trained dept/certified rescue apparatus and not a new mission. I have the narrative, if you’d like a copy, feel free to email
