Assistance to Firefighters Grant Closing May 20 2009!
 Don’t let an opportunity for grant monies pass your
department by! Did you know that ANY non-profit fire
department and non-affiliated EMS department is eligible to
apply for the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program (AFG)?
Run by FEMA, and overseen by the Department of Homeland
Security, the AFG program’s main mission is to “provide
financial assistance directly to fire departments and
non-affiliated EMS organizations to enhance their
capabilities with respect to fire and fire related
hazards.” Because of this, FREE MONEY is available
for your department and it’s easier to receive funding than
you think.

Client Spotlight
Deccan's CAD Analyst
and ADAM continue to DEFEND department's budgets!
Budget Defense and
The Chula Vista Fire Department
Budgets are tight and Deccan
International’s CAD Analyst and ADAM can really help
provide a compelling case to your department’s city
as to why money should not be cut out of your city’s
Emergency Services Budget. Deccan wants to help
your department’s budget from getting slashed in and
because of this we are teaming up with Fire Rescue
International and Fire Chief Dave Hanneman of Chula
Vista Fire Department to help get the word out.
Chief Hanneman will be speaking
on behalf of Deccan at the “Weathering the
Economic Storm” seminar being held during FRI on
Wednesday, August 26, 2009 and Thursday, August 27,
2009. Chief Hanneman will be addressing how CAD
Analyst and ADAM were used in his budget defense
presentations and how he approached his city
council. Although Chief Hanneman is a new user of
CAD Analyst and ADAM, being appointed as Fire Chief
of Chula Vista in November 2008, he became a quick
supporter of the budget defense applications after
seeing the software’s power.
Chief Hanneman has reported,
“Deccan’s ADAM gave our department the ability to
visually demonstrate to council the negative
implications of reductions.” Using Deccan’s ADAM,
Chula Vista Fire has fended off 2 levels of
reductions including brownouts and station closures
associated with budget cuts. He has been able to
show Chula Vista’s city council how far department
performance would veer off course with 1710
standards. Chief Hanneman is now working with
Deccan’s ADAM to explore incorporating Advanced Life
Support on 3 engines within the department and
looking into how performance will improve with this
change.
Please stay stunned for more
information regarding Deccan’s participation in the
“Weathering the Economic Storm” seminar will be held
Fire Rescue International.
