12
13 WHEREAS, the National Fire Protection Association has issued new sweeping standards
14 for fire service self- contained breathing apparatus (SCBA); and
15
16 WHEREAS, these new standards will prevent the repair and upgrade of the current stock
17 of SCBA for the Bayside, Kodiak City, and Women's Bay Fire stations after July 2013.
18 After July 2013 all new SCBA will have to be purchased to meet the new standards; and
19
20 WHEREAS, current upgrade cost per SCBA is $1,500 compared to replacement cost of
21 $5,500 each; and
22
23 WHEREAS, the Alaska Fire Chiefs Association has requested a statewide legislative
24 capital project to upgrade SCBA's for fire stations across the state as most small rural fire
25 stations cannot afford the cost of SCBA upgrades or replacement; and
26
27 WHEREAS, this statewide legislative capital project is fiscally prudent and benefits the
28 entire state.
