Howley and City Council Members <br /> From: Steve Garm , ity Manager <br /> Leslie Albert, ire Chief ���- <br /> � <br /> Re: State grant for technical rescue portable radios <br /> The Decatur Fire Department has been notified that we will be receiving a$30,000 grant <br /> from State Representative Julie Curry, for new state of the art portable radios. The money should <br /> be received around January 1, 2001. These radios will be used by the individuals of the <br /> Hazardous Materials Technician Team. These radios can be operated while wearing the totally <br /> encapsulated hazardous material suits. This allows the firefighters "hands free"communication <br /> opportunities, thus making a safer working environment. This technology is an added plus to the <br /> city's dedication for Technical Rescue covering our community. <br />
