Body
Request Action:
Approval of receiving the grant to further educate the residents of the city of Lauderhill on the usage of fire extinguishers.
Need Summary Explanation/ Background:
The Lauderhill Fire Department responds to approximately 150 fires each year, with many incidents involving residents attempting to use fire extinguishers but doing so unsuccessfully. This highlights a critical gap in public knowledge and proper technique when it comes to using extinguishers during an emergency. Often, residents either misjudge the size of the fire or fail to follow the necessary steps for effective extinguisher use, which can lead to delayed response times and increased fire damage. Strengthening education on fire extinguisher use could significantly improve early fire suppression efforts, reducing the severity of these incidents and potentially saving lives and property.
Cost Summary/ Fiscal Impact:
Projected cost is $23,186.24, funded completely by the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation. There is no cost to the City of Lauderhill.
