Subject:
Donation of Fire Rescue Equipment from the Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie #4120
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve the resolution to accept the donation and direct staff to send a thank you letter.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval.
Discussion:

The Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie #4120 graciously offered to donate two MSA LUNAR units per month until the fire department had a LUNAR for every SCBA air pack.

 

LUNAR is a handheld wireless device that acts as an enhanced thermal imaging camera, assists with search and rescue, and location and rescue of downed firefighters.

 

The result was a total donation of 18 LUNAR units with a total value of $42,851.00.

Budget Impact:
Without the donation, the fire department would've had to increase annual budgets and extend the purchase of the units out over several years.
