K-4 - Matching Grant Funds for DNR Grant - Fire Department

Fire Departments are responsible for making conversions in a safe and timely manner; protecting the equipment from theft, vandalism, and weather; painting vehicles in fire service colors; maintaining appropriate liability insurance and returning the equipment, less any added equipment, to the DNR Forestry - Fire Program when no longer needed. Department of Defense - Firefighter Property (DOD-FFP) - This program is similar to the FEPP program, with the exception that generally, once the equipment is modified, ready to put into service and inspected by a DNR Forestry - Fire staff, title is transferred to the Fire Department. The departments are asked to retain ownership for a minimum of five years. Screening Instructions are provided to Fire Department contacts upon request. Requests for potential pieces of equipment can be made via phone, messaging or e-mail. Property screening is dependent upon items requested and availability. When requesting screening assistance, please provide as much detail as possible along with contact person and telephone number(s), mailing address and e-mail address. <table> <tr> <th>Contact</th> <td>Ryan Harr, Fire Program Leader<br>DNR Forestry - Fire Program<br>2404 S Duff Ave<br>Ames IA 50010</td> <td>office: 515-233-8067<br>e-mail: [email protected]<br>or [email protected]</td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td>Cooperative Fire Specialist - Karl Harris</td> <td>cell: 515-490-8296<br>e-mail: [email protected]</td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td>Cooperative Fire Specialist - Ryan Schlater</td> <td>office: 515-233-8067<br>cell: 515-979-8739<br>e-mail: [email protected]</td> </tr> </table>
