Establishes grant program to provide thermal imaging and radio equipment to certain fire departments.
This bill establishes a state grant program to provide thermal imaging body cameras, thermal imaging masks, and radio repeaters to fire departments serving municipalities with 100,000 or more residents. Qualifying fire departments in cities with 100,000-299,000 residents receive $150,000 every three years (divided equally among departments), while those in cities of 300,000+ residents receive the same amount. The grant covers purchasing or reimbursing costs for the specified equipment, which enhances firefighter visibility through smoke and improves inter-department communication. The Division of Fire Safety must review the program every five years to ensure departments use updated technology and determine if the program should continue.
