SOUTH Sn LIN. FIRE PROTECTION
P. fiTe departments performance in protecting lives and property
is reflected in its ability to respond to fires quickly. This ability
is in turn determined. by how fire fighting resources are deployed.
It is for this reason that strategic decisions concerning the alloca-
tion. of resources requires very careful analysis .
There are few useful guides to help officials determine the level !
of fire protection that should be provided a city. In the Grading
Schedule published by the Insurance Service Office , some figures are
• given for the maximum response distances for engine and ladder oampan
"
ies . These
guidelines are based on the estimated fire flow which _s
required for different buildings , on a knowledge of the number o'f.
gallons per minute each engine company can deliver, and implicitly �
on judgement= of the response times and menpewe_ needed to insure time- ,
ly delivery of the water required . For ladder companies , the stand-
ards are based on judgements of fire risks .
These figures were developed as a means of classifying municipal-
ities for determining insurance rates . Although some cities have used
them to determine the number of companies they need and the location,
they were not intended necessarily for use as a standard for municipal I
fire protection. The problem of using the grading schedule as a stan-
dard is that the actual relationship between response distance or re-
sponse time , fire flow, and fire loss is unknown . Therefore , any
rigid standard based on these factors alone may be arbitrary.
The Question of how fire fighting resources should be distributed
throughout a city like Salina poses a problem similar to that related
to the levels of resources that a city should have . In this case how-
ever, problems are caused by competing objectives of the fire depart-
ment itself. Since its resources are limited, it must strive to get
the most out of those resources it has . Since it is supported by
local taxes , it must not attempt to favor one group of citizens over
another.
How may these objectives conflict? In deployment of its engines
and ladder trucks with a given level of manning, the fire department
could choose :
1 . To concentrate the units near locations where fires are most
likely to occur, aiming to minimize the average travel time
to acual fires in the city as a whole .
2 . To spread the units out more evenly around the city, provid-
ing roughly equal coverage (ie . , equal average travel times )
for all regions , even those where few fires occur.
If fire companies are placed so that average travel time is mini- ,
mized, many more companies probably will be assigned to the high inci- ,
dent region than to the low incident region . The average response
•
times in the two regions will then not be equal . The high incidence
region will have short travel times and the low incidence region will
ham :-Catily long travel times . But minimizing travel times to
real frcs ignores the Potentially high fire hazards or special dan-
gers present in some locations in each region. (Schools , Chemical
et:•rage and etc . ) .
By contrast , if companies are placed so that average travel times
( or menam travel tim.$ ) ,-Ane, equal in both regions , the companies
in ti::. high incidence region. will have heavy workloads and the average
travel tin will be hiher than the minimum. Equalizing travel, time
in all regions does not compensate for the different levels of demand
areas of the city. It does result in the same travel
timo en business districts as in residential areas , thus there is no !
correct answer to the allocation question. In practice , some com-
promise has to be made among objectives to obtain an appropriate
balance of fire fighting resources throughout the city.
in order to make • reasonable determination aS to location of
fire stations , specific data must be collected for analysis . Data
for such analysis includes the following:
1 . The aggregation of fire alarms by type , time of day, day of
week, month, and the location in order to determine how the •
deployment of fire companies should be varied.
•
2 . The use of the division of Salina into "Demandregions" hav-
ing similar alarm patterns and demographic characteristics
and a characterization of hazards in each region, in order
to be able to evaluate alternative allocations, region by
reion. •
3 . An identification of special hazards to which it is import-
ant to have especially good travel times . Special attention
would be paid to these hazards in evaluating travel time
from the various alternatives .
4 . Determination of the relationship between response distance
and travel times , so that travel times between fire stations
and incident locations can be estimated .
The results of this type of data collection and analysis can
then be used primarily as input to a deployment model for the City
of Salina.
Much of the analytical work for fire station allocation requires
prediction of time for a fire vehicle to respond from point A to point
B as noted in No . 4 above . Observations on time and distance will
become an integral part of the final determination of deployment of
Salina Fire stations . In order to understand Response Time however,
a number of considerations must be made .
Response time must be divided. into three component parts in the
City of Salina. These are as follows :
1 . Alarm receipt time -•- The time elapsed from the point the
alarm is received by the operator at 911 (Central Lis .'.:Ci1)
and the time the alarm is relayed via. radio alarm to Firs
Department Stations .
2 . Turnout time - The elapsed time between the receipt of an
alarm at the fire department and the departure of a fire
company in response to it .
3 . Travel time - The time it takes apparatus to reach the inci-
dent after leaving the ._ ..haw o ..... . G fire . nation.
T e variables these time rectors can ' avr tremen,Thiag ;ac ln
any response time study and must be taken into account if any specil.' l
time allocation is GO be met . Another factor which mast be given o0-
sideration is what effect the time of day may have on response velo- 1
city and hence on travel time . Preliminary tests in this rec7errd
dicate the average response velocity will be between 25 and 28 n . .les
per hour for engine companies and 21 23 miles per hour for ladder

be noted between daylight hours and night time hours . However, some
difference in response velocity may be noted during "rush h.ot..rs" since
Salina depends primarily on three north-south traffic arteries .
In giving consideration to future development of South Salina,
it becomes quite obvious that further expansion will be taking place
at an excellerated rate . The recent annexation of the Schilling Maanor
area into the city and the subsequent occupancy of the 750 tlus units
in this area will have a considerable impact . The present potential
of the Twin Oaks II sub-division and additional growth in the indus-
trial complex on the old air base site all add to the need to direct
immediate planning toward the provision of fire protection of a
greater degree than can now be provided by Salina Station 2 located
at Santa Fe and Minneapolis or Station 3 located off the runway on
the old. air base site .
Prior to the time that any fire station deployment study can be
completed, a number of specific important decisions must be made by
governmental leaders of the City of Salina. These decisions have a
direct and profound effect on all fire protection master planning for
south Salina and for the two major industrial areas which are a part
of it or adjacent to it . These questions are addressed as follows :
A . What is the position of the City of Salina regarding the
continuation of fire protection at the airport itself?
Does the city have a positive committment to provide runway
fire - crash - rescue protection on a twenty-four hour 365
day a year basis without some funding from the airport
-authority.
B. Could Station 3 be discontinued at its present location and
relocated at a more centralized location to provide protec-
tion to the Shilling Industrial Area, The Schilling Manor
area , Salina south of cloud street and the industrial area
•
south of the present corporate limits of the City of Salina
and which may in the future become a part of the city through
process of annexation.
C . What is the Potential of the incorporation of a new fire
protection facility, airport protection facility and a fire
department training facility in a package project in a lo-
cation which would be compatible for all concerned agencies .
Preliminary evaluation of available data indicates a need for
a three bay station in south Salina. The amount of industry, the
the of te bu ldins, the fire load and the life safety p roblems
indicate a requirement of a minimum of one class A pumper with 1500
( PM pumping capability, one piece aerial equipment either an
aerial . adder with pumping capability or an elevating platform with
pumping capability, and a squad truck for quick attack - rescue cap-
ability. If this facility were to also house units for runway air-
c.rash-rescu_e additional app2rPtus room space would be re uired.
The recent R.L. Means Construction cost analysis for fire station
construction indicates a range of S 34 . 55 per square ft to $54 . 20 per
square ft . A mid-range figure for estimated construction costs in
the Salina area could probably be set at this time at S 43 .65 per
square ft . This figure will change as cost escalation continues .
Depending upon above mentioned decisions , size requirements could
range from 5000 to 10 ,000 square ft requirements for a south Salina
fire protection facility.
Discounting any involvement with the airport property other than
backup operations in time of a major fire , a pilot locator study with-
out benifit of total data necessary, indicates a general area for a
south Salina fire protection facility. This study shows land avail-
able within acceptable areas on Belmont Blvd. and Key Avenue , Belmont
and South Ninth and South Ninth at the City, Limits line . The latter
being on the east side of the road.
It must also be remembered that fire protection facilities are
nothing but empty buildings without effective apparatus and manpower
to operate it . The cost of the facility itself is quite minimal in
comparison to the costs of the manning. Results from talks with the •
Salina Airport Authority and decisions which come as a result of them
could have a profound effect on this manning aspect and cost effective-
ness of additional fire protection in south Salina. Apparatus needs
have already been discussed in Part I of the Capital Improvements Pro-
ject .

Gentlemen:
It appears in the best interest of the community for us to 1il
promote several significant changes in the deployment of our fire
suppression personnel and equipment. However, we do not have
those plans refined to the point where we are prepared to discuss
them in any detail.
For the present-, we think the Airport Authority should take
over all expenses related to the operation and maintenance of the
two trucks which you purchased. This will include :., insurance,
fuel , foam, supplementary equipment , tires and all mechanical
repairs. In our opinion , this is a reasonable expectation par-
ticularly since 98% of the calls handled by Fire Station #3 are
runway related.
Please give us a call if you have any questions on this
matter. In the event you are unable to give us an affirmative
response prior to the Airport Authority meeting on October 14 ,
we will plan to hear from you shortly thereafter.
Sincerely yours ,
Rufus L. Nye

SUBJECT: Fire Protection Services
from Fire Station #3
BY: Bill Harris , Assistant City Manager
At the direction of the City Manager, Fire Chief Dave
Robertson and I met with Mike Scanlan and Paul Wall of the
Airport Authority on September 12 , 1980 , concerning financing
of fire protection service provided from Fire Station #3 , situ-
ated adjacent to the airport runway.
We pointed out to Mr. Scanlan and Mr. Wall , 98% of the calls
handled by Fire Station #3 are runway related. Further, the City
over the next few years is going to have to incur considerable
expense to update the equipping and manning of the Fire Department
in order to provide adequate service to the City. With the new
aircraft fire control apparatus going into service , we think it
only fair and appropriate that the Airport Authority provide
funding for the operation and maintenance of this vehicle and
the rescue squad vehicle which was purchased earlier with FAA
funding.
Next we pointed out that Fire Station #3 is in a very deter-
iorated condition. It is far too large; it is costing us far too
much to heat and cool. Mr. Wall strongly disagreed with this and
felt that the building could be repaired at a reasonable cost.
Mr. Scanlan then indicated he did not agree with Mr. Wall ' s posi-
tion.
Thirdly, we pointed out with the growth of Salina, we need
a Fire Station in the south part of Salina, possibly as an example ,
in the South Industrial Area and that Fire Station #3 is just not
strategically located to provide maximum utilization of personnel
and equipment for structural fire protection. We emphasized the
airport area structures would continue to be a City responsibility
and would be served from a new station more strategically located.
Also on the subject of how to provide adequate fire protec-
tion to Salina at minimum cost, we mentioned consideration is
being given to the possibility of combining Stations #2 and #4 ;
as an example, in the general vicinity of Ohio and E. Crawford.
Additionally, it is very possible that with continued growth in
North Salina, another station will be required in that area.
All in all, we endeavored to point out to Mr. Scanlan and
Mr. Wall that over the next few years, Salina' s Fire Department
is going to have to undergo several major changes in order to
provide adequate protection to the citizens of Salina.

We suggested there is more than one possible approach which
the Airport Authority can consider; particularly as it relates
to manpower for providing fire protection service on the runway.
1. They can contract with the City for the cost of
administration, supervision, training, salaries ,
benefits, etc. for the necessary personnel.
2 . They can hire and train their own personnel.
3 . They mentioned the possibility of a volunteer or
semi-volunteer force where they would train some
of their other personnel for firefighting duty.
This might also involve personnel from industries,
such as Beech Aircraft.
Throughout the conversation, Mr. Wall was very much on the
defensive and felt the City had an obligation to provide airport
fire protection service. For some unknown reason, he brought up
the subject of the Schilling water plant, reservoir, and distri-
bution system and made the comment they, not the City, had title
to it. However, Mr. Scanlan stated he recognized the City was
confronted with some difficult- problems and asked that we put
in writing for them what we were planning, both on a short-term
and a long-term basis, time tables if possible, and cost estimates
which might be of assistance to them.
During the course of the conversation, Mr. Scanlan pointed
out to me or, rather, reminded me they had paid for one-half of
the prototype crash truck which the City recently sold and felt
they were probably entitled to half of what the City was receiv-
ing for the vehicle. However, they were not going to make an
issue of the matter.
On returning to the office, I .visited with the City Manager
on this subject. The City Clerk was asked to check the records
and try to determine whether it was airport funds or FAA funds
which they used for their 50% of the cost of purchasing the ap-
paratus; and if it were, in fact, Airport Authority funds , they
should probably be given half of the proceeds of the sale of the
vehicle.
Since that meeting, Chief Robertson has advised me , Mr. Wall
has refused to provide fuel for the new aircraft crash truck.
In fairness to Mr. Wall, we know he is not in good health and is
or has recently been under a doctor' s care and until this week
was at work only in the mornings.

(
During the past few years, a considerable growth has been realized in
the area known as South Salina. The growth climaxed in early 1979 when the
former military housing area wn as Schilling Manor was acquired by a
development company and the( 50+ ousing units made available for sale or
rent to the general public.
Prior to the acquisition of the Schilling Housing Area., the City of
Salina was under a contract with the U. S. Army for fire protection of the
complex. This contract provided two important items for the. city:
1 . A substantial dollar amount.

The contract with the U. 5. Government ended im January of' 1979' and loss of
the contract dollars and- the- use of the truck was immediate. The Tatter
created an- apparatus. deficiency situation for the Salina Fire- Department
which has not been rectified at this time. A temporary measure was initiated
in• January of 1979 which moved a unit from Headquarters Station to Station #
to provide: necessary coverage at Schilling Manor Housing Area. This move
�• is detailed in the attached memo to Bill Harris dated December 20, 1978..
Since the acquisition of the former Schilling' Housing- Area,- further

construction is quite certain in both categories during 1980 and 1981 . This
growth has placed a rather heavy burden on the entire Salina Fire Protection
System. The backup coverage of Station 43 by Station =2 during alarms neces
• sitates movement of Station 44 apparatus to Station 42 quarters to cover '!
exposed. flanks . Station 41 then covers its own assigned area , assumes Station
#4' s area, and provides backup for both the Station =2 area and possibly the
Station 43 area if ladder capability is needed. A number of times during II
the past year, it has been necessary to virtually leave the entire northern
and eastern section of Salina: without quick apparatus response.
As was pointed out in a previous report, Station 43 , located at the old
Schilling Air Force Base, _has for its first-line apparatus a (1,968_:Ford-Com=
'Mimi al chassiit7custom body, runway_ fire crash rescue prrotd tyoe, foam II
c_truck_whithzik s.built by the American Fire-Apparatus=Company. It has never
been what could be- considered a viable piece of apparatus for structural
firefighting purposes due to its tremendous weight (59,000 lbs. ) and its
highly_spetialized equipment. Also housed at the Schilling station is a
c1.978_Dodge.Qu.i.ek.-rescue_vehicle�(IR'I) . . This piece of apparatus is again la.
very specialized. type. and of no use for structural firefighting purposes_I
Two units: now stationed. at Schilling have limited structural firefighting_
capability. The first of these is the. former=Rescue- Squad:.One. (RS#T)",-;-,a,
_1.9687tbdge, which was. stationed. at Headquarters: prior to the placement in
service of the 1978 Chevrolet Mini Pumper in late. 1978_ This,. untt_is

is aa.955_G:M_C-ftanker-pumper-comb,inataon_ Its mechanical condition is. so
/: tenuous that it is. oniy moved when -abso'lutely necessary. Its use at Schil-
ling is primarily to supply water for runway and taxiway firefighting and ,
for grass and fire situations..
In reality, Station 43. of the. Salina Fire Department must be considered.
as an airport oriented facility and Tittle else. Statistics indicate that
=98ro_of all Stab ort_ 3_actv _t :es•_ar_e di:r_ectTy_r_elated_to_the,airpor_t-oper-
cations:- This. being• the case,. the question quickly arises as to just whose.
responsibility the provision of fire protection for the airport should be..
According- to: the Federal Aviation Requirements, Part 139 Certification
and Operations: Land Airports Serving C.A.B. Certificated Air Carriers,
"No person may operate a land airport serving any Civil Aeronautics Board
(C.A.S. ) certificated air carrier operating aircraft into that airport,. in
any state of the United States, District of Columbia,. territory or posses-
sion of the Untied States, without or in violation of an airport operating
certificate for that airport, or in violation of the applicable provisions.
of this Part or the approved airport operations manual or airport operations '
specifications for that airport.." In short,. this means that the Salina
Airport Authority most be a. certificated airport in order to have commercial.
air carriers conduct operations on a. daily bas.is.. Without such a certifica-
tion, air carriers such as Frontier would not be- able to provide service to•
the. City of Salina. . .
•
r, The requirements for Operational Certificates for land airports are
extremely rigid and are covered in total in Part 139 of the Federal Aviatioi
Regulations 139. i through 139.12Z dated. December 1974 with various amendment
since that time.
2
As far as this report is concerned, Section 739.49 of the F.A.A. rI
regulations needs specific review and understanding. A copy of the section;
• has been attached for reference purposes. Section 139.49 states, in effect,
that any certificated airport must have available during air carrier user !
operations, at least the airport firefighting and rescue equipment with the
vehicle response time capability and trained personnel prescribed.
1
The term 'air carrier user operations ' is of considerable importance I
in understanding the role of the fire department in meeting F.A.A regula- I
tions for airport certification. The term applies only to those air carriels
which are C.A.B. certified. In the case of Salina, this covers the daily
arrivals and departures of Frontier Airlines and the very occasional arrival
and departure of a charter flight for some specific purpose. Any other air
operation, including military use, medical evacuation, private aircraft use,
and etc. , is not covered by the regulation. i
There is no federal regulation which mandates fire protection be proivded
24 hours a day at any certified airport. To maintain certification, airport
management must provide fire suppression capability for approximately 15 11
minutes prior to the arrival of any certified air carrier, during the time
the aircraft is on the ground, and ten minutes after its departure. II
f
Frontier Airlines normally operates six flights in and out of the City
of Salina each day. (See schedule below)

During 1978, Frontier Airlines logged a total of 23,097 arriving passengers
and. 23,625 departing passengers for a total Salina passenger load of
46,722. Assuming that the City of Salina provides fire_ protection at the
6°-"1192- , i
airport to comply with Federal Aviation Regulations , and assuming
gethat tththis
l is primarily for commercial air carrier operations, the cost
taxpayer of the City of Salina is about $6.00 per arriving or departing
- passenger.
The continued operation of Station #3 must be considered like a
weight attached to a tired swimmer. He has l o.obeegrlyl,
Thehcontanuedtential of being
pulled under by the weight and drowning.
operational cost of Station ;3 is slowly, but surely, drowning any attempts
to provide the remainder of the City of Salina with adequate fire protection.
A way must be found to ease the weight ht of Station #3. Unfortunately,

for the south Salina area. This. is rapidly i becoming aire real

The problems i Station #3 are
a number of very location.
#3 hits stg structural and its structural integrity is subject to considerable concern by those i
assigned to the station, as well as fire department officials. City
Engineering department personnel are keeping close watch on the building 'but
are Pictureseofnsomeaofmthesstructural9deteriorationy

is rapidly reaching a point where it will haveoto be. replacedewith atnewture

Sections (h) and r be o area. For-,
personnel turnover being experienced in the mid-level employe_-
tunately, the Salina Fire. Department has been able to retain its officers
with fire crash rescue experience which has resulted in minimum ability to
continue skill levels in the basics'of the profession.
In- order to achieve some proficiency in fire crash rescue,
' hot drills '
• mustbe required for all personnel . This will give. them the opportunity for
familiarization with equipment and the extinguishing capability of various
agents. Construction of a hot drill pit area has recently been
at the airport by fire department personnel . It will provide the necessary
4
il
hot training, but its function will be limited tremendously by the avail- �
ability of fire. suppressi.ng agents such as. foams and powders. These agents
are incredibly expensive and, as a result, they have been cut from the
operating budget of the fire department in an attempt to' retain some form)
of financial stability and cost effectiveness.
Fire department personnel have, and are continuing to be, sent to. '
special seminars designed for fire-crash-rescue training. Again, this
training is both limited in availability and is extremely costly. This
obviously limits the number of individuals which can be sent.
Based on studies which have been ongoing for the past year, a number;
of alternatives for modernization of Salina' fire defenses are. available)!
None of the alternatives are without considerable dollar cost. However, some
alternatives are considerably less costly than others. As stated previously,
the key to part of this is the Station #3 situation. It would appear that
the City must get out from under the airport fire protection operation in
one way or- another. Alternatives here are:
1 . Contract' with the Airport Authority for fire protection for
the runway and aircraft associated operations,
2. Allow the Airport Authority to maintain their own fire pro- g
tection facility and withdraw from that section entirely.
By accomplishment of either of the afore mentioned, the City could operate
a. new fire protection facility in South Salina without increasing signifi-
cantly the number of personnel needed for suppression capability. The new
facility would provide protection for the South Salina housing area, com-
mercial operations, the Schilling Housing Area , Schilling industrial complex,1
and potentially the South Salina Industrial Park. In order to achieve this i
potential , a facility would have to be constructed, apparatus procured, and
the facility made operational--a sizeable investment initially,. but not one
which would increase general operational costs of the department.
A significant spin-off of the fire protection study of South Salina is
a question which concerns the continued effectiveness of Station #2 in its
present location if a new station goes into operation in South Salina. On
the basis of data which has been generated, it would seem that. Station #2
might be best relocated to the area of Ohio and Crawford. If this were
accomplished, Station #4 could be eliminated until further growth in east
Salina required another station to be constructed farther east than the pre" ;
sent Station #4 location. A Crawford and Ohio location for Station #2 would
not greatly affect response times in present east Salina and would provide
good response time to central Salina and the growing commercial areas on
Ohio, both north and south of Crawford Street. This action would not be
politically palatable to some residents of east Salina, but would facilitate ,
the problem of maintaining a full compliment of personnel at the South Salina
station and the central Salina station without increasing personnel costs
and with a reduction of operational costs. The present Station #2 facility
could be remodeled and become fire department administration offices and
perhaps offices for other municipal agencies related to public safety (.ie..
electrical inspector, building inspection,. etc. ) .

To offset the Captain not being at the airport fire station on weekends , the
department would move a firefighter, when available, to Station #3 during the
time of commercial aircraft operations.
The Salina Fire Department would, support all operations of the Airport Fire
Station, especially in the areas of financial management , and would assist with,
secretarial and other administrative needs .
The initial savings to the City with this type of manning in 1980 is estimates
to be as follows :

department personnel . Any maintenance which they could not do would be handled
by the City' s central garage; the Salina Fire Department, or a private garage .
An important element of this operation would be basic protection of the
airport utilizing minimum manning levels. The back-up assistance which could ;
presently be offered would be slow until a ' south ' fire station could be built
and manned. However, with- this reduction of manning and slow seceondary respons

a crash at the airport with little or no warning could prove to be overwhelming
to the airport personnel . The new crash unit presently being considered for II
purchase would, however, give a larger firefighting capability to such a small
contingency of firefighters .
Under consideration at the present time are methods to economize the opera-
tions of Station #3. The housing for men and equipment at the airport is notL
conducive to energy conservation , especially considering the poor building l
insulation, number of openings, the size of the building, and the type of heating
and cooling systems used. it
Another major problem with this building is that at, the present time there
is no committment from either the City or the Airport Authority for the specific
use of this building. Until more definitive information is available, all oo,tion5
must be considered short term, at best.
In considering the most viable options , the one which shows the most promise
is the modification of Station #3. This would include reducing the heating and
cooling needs by limiting the area of use and revamping the living areas so that
energy might be better used. The modification would consist of building a wall
separating the north end of the building from the south end. The dayroom would
then be relocated to the dining area, bedrooms to the office area, 'and the washer
• and dryer to the north apparatus floor. To aid in energy conservation , storm
windows, wind breaks, and insulation on overhead doors could be installed and
air conditioning equipment relocated..
---Cost
Modification Cost to North End $2 ,500.00
Telephone Relocation 150.00.
Winterization of South End 500.00
TOTAL $3,150.00
---Potential Savings
Utility Reduction $1 ,900.00
Materials & Supplies 1 ,200.00
Repair of Building 140.00'
TOTAL $3,240.00'
It appears from this estimation that the initial investment costs for this
modification could be realized from the savings of the first year. With energy
costs increasing so . rapidly, the saving over the next three years would be
significant. There is also a possibility that. Station #3 could qualify for fede
funds for energy conservation, if available.
•
Through reduced manning, different operations administration and energy
• conservation practices , a sizable savings could be realized at Station #3. Re-
directed, this savings could be extremely beneficial to the Salina Fire OepartmE
and the City of Salina as a whole.

Another option that might prove beneficial would be to locate a 'used ' 11
12 x 50 foot mobile home at Station #3 for housing the men . Then , section off
and winterize part of the Station #3 building to house and protect the trucks:

All of these figures are rough estimates . A 15% error factor would not 5a
too conservative, in all probablility. The potential savings that might be �I
realized at Station #3 has many variables that can only be estimated. The major
. variables are:
1 . Station Use
• 2. Winter Severity
3. Energy Cost Esculation
4. Energy Conservation Practices
I believe Station #3 is scheduled for an energy audit by the State Energy
Commission in the very near future. It would probably be to the advantage of
the City to wait and review their findings before making a decision. l
The only long-range correction needed at Station #3 would be to build allnew
structure tailored to the needs of the City of Salina .

SUBJECT: Personnel Changes
II
The proposed reduction of manning at Station T3 needs to be
considered along with the initiation of related personnel staff
changes. This more will lower operational costs of the Salina
Fire Department and will aid in the necessary modernization and growth
of the deaprtment.
• As is illustrated in the memo concerning the Salina Airport, an
estimated savings of 3122,162.00 could be made by lowering the level of
manning.. This reduces the manning at Station #3 by four, and thus creates
a 66-man Salina Fire Department
A single major problem continues to grow in magnitude. It has a
direct relation to the airport operation as well as the operation of the
other stations as well . Recent mandates of the State of Kansas have
intensified the necessity of upgrading. the type of incidence reporting
and data collection. It is nearly impossible to meet the new-require-
ments with the present approach to reporting.
I believe the time has come to create the position of Captain for
data collection and analysis. A cost breakdown for this position is as
follows :
Captain 's Salary Increase $1 ,236.00
. (over present Lt. ' s salary) •
Lieutenant' s. Salary Increase 660.00
(over present FF/Eng. salary)
FF/Engineer' s Salary Increase 6600.00
(over present Firefighter' s salary)
Retain Firefighter Position 10,200.00

In order to facilitate the additional reporting load and manual
retrieval of data as well as aid in keeping up with an increasing amount
of administrative secretarial need, a second part-time secretary/clerk
is critically needed.
Salary of Part-time Secretary/Clerk $ 3 ,500.00
Plus Costs due to Promotions 17,774..40
(as noted above)
Subtotal $21 ,274.40 h�
Total estimated savings based on the 1980 time schedule:
$122.162.00 less increases for promotions & secretary of $21 ,2741.40
it
3100,8871.76 Savings
Projecting ahead to 1981 -- the fire department should add the posi-
tion of Public Fire Education Specialist as a 40-hour position . This is
a major step in the municipaT master plan of fire loss reduction. Its
• cost should be justified many times over by fire loss reductions and
fewer fire department operations.
When the south Salina fire protection substation becomes a reality
it is my estimate that 18 additional fire officers and/or firefighters
will have to be added to the department' s total operating strength.
The existence of the new south Salina station will have considerableV _j
impact on the airport station and its manning considerations . l,S�" "J

Proposal : The water pump is flooded and ready for instant
operation at all times. A water tank shut-off
valve is provided with a left hand external con-
trol for maintenance purposes or when drafting
from external water sources.
•

PS - 13 (7) Tank Filler Connections.
• Requirement: The tank filler connection shall include an automatic.
valve means for shutting off the flow of water when
the tank is 75 to 80 percent full and for reopening
the valve as the tank empties. j
Proposal : The T-6 uses a simple atmosphere overflow vent: that
will relieve excess pressure on the tank during
filling. We do not supply an automatic shut-off
feature for the water tank fill connection due to
the complexity of the mechanisms involved. The
automatic valve has been used by the U.S. Air Force
and has proven to be extremely troublesome and in
some cases because of wear and corrosion in the
mechanism has been the underlying cause of tank
failures.
PS - 15 (11 ) Handline Reels and Nozzles.
Requirement: Two electric rewind hose reels, one on each side of '�
the vehicle, shall be furnished.
Proposal : One electric handline mounted in the center front of
the vehicle. This is a better arrangement for the
one operator concept and it offers two additional
• storage compartments.
PS - 19 (4) Brake Tests. (a)
(See. Exception PS - 3. d. Performance. g. )
PS - 20 d Warranty.
Requirement: Parts developing defects within 36 months after de-
livery must be returned to the Contractor for exa-
mination.
Proposal : See. Warranty Section in T-6 Data Manual enclosed
