FIRE DEPARTMENT Tae. 20RAN x
omiell I. Webb, Resonant Chief
September 20, 1994
The Bangor Fire Department would like to apply for grant movies to enhance
our training facility.
The monies would be used to further develop our confined space and below
grade training mock-up. More specifically to purchase a trench -box, a
device
used in trenching to a safety for the workers. This purchase
would allow our departments rescue personnel to become familiar with
trenching procedures and prepay s for potential rescue. It would also
provide a training opportunity for the City'$ public works news.
If purchase of the box could be made mithreasenable fonds we also have plans
fore vertiela unprotected trench mock-up and possibly a true trench cave-in _
mock-up as well, (draving included for all three mock-ups).
If successful i squiring the grant you u
n be Assured that the facility could
be used by many a
rescue teams and possiblyindustryto provide a much safer work
place for Maine workers.
It is our intention to provide training and ezpartige for Anyone with questions
that we may be able to answer. The Bangor Fire Department has recognized the
potential for disaster t strike and we want to be able to respond with the
confidence and expertise our citizens deserve and expect.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely subdmiittteedd/�,/>�w
Assistant Chief Darrell L. Webb
