President Advises: Keep Applying for Grants
Mobile Concepts by Scotty president and CEO, Anne
Degre, urges fire departments to continue applying for the
Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Fire Prevention and
Safety (FP&S) grant even if you've been turned down in the
past.
"While applying for the grant, keep in mind that the bigger
the scope of the project, the more favorable your
application may look. For example, if your program
encompasses fire prevention, severe weather training,
sprinkler demonstratioin, Risk Watch(TM) and injury
prevention year round, DHS will look more favorably upon
your application," explained Degre.
DHS and the National Fire Sprinkler Association, as well as
Mobile Concepts, are promoting awareness for residential
sprinkler installation.
Mobile Concepts is the only company that manufactures a
combination sprinkler demonstration and fire safety house.
These vehicles are used to educate the public on the
effectiveness of residential sprinklers as well as debunking
common myths about the systems.
The sprinkler education program can be compared to the smoke
detector educational programs of the 1970s. People did not
know what they were, and the rumors about them were running
rampant. The same can be said for the residential sprinkler
initiative. The only way to raise awareness is through
public education.
The 2009 FP&S grant has been allotted $35 million for fire
departments to use for public safety education, code
enforcement/awareness, arson prevention/ awareness, juvenile
fire-setter programs, sprinkler awareness, smoke alarm
distribution, burn prevention or firefighter safety research
and development.
"The money is out there. If they [fire departments] don't
apply at all, it looks like no one is interested. We don't
want the government to assume that nobody else needs fire
prevention products and cut back on funding," said Degre.
