As you may know, the Alabama Forestry Commission (AFC) has
announced that the requirement to convert to narrow band has
been extended through mid year of 2009 although conversion may
occur sooner in some counties.
AFC has also announced that they are seeking funds to assist
VFD’s in making equipment conversions or for the purchase of new
equipment when older equipment cannot be upgraded.
There have also been questions as to whether these funds, if and
when they become available, can be used only for the purchase of
equipment listed on the current Alabama State Contract (The
current contract expires in September 2008).
We can’t speak for money that does not yet exist or for the
terms of the Alabama State Contract beyond September, but I have
met with William Baisden, Assistant State Forester for the
purpose of seeking clarification on the aforementioned as well
as other important issues to those we serve.
We have prepared information which we think you will find to be
of interest at
www.info4u.us/fireinfo.pdf.
This is a reprint of a brochure which we pass out when we
are able to attend VFD County Association meetings.
We plan to visit as many meetings as possible from now
through the end of the year.
For now, we hope the information on the preceding link
will be helpful. By
the way, there are some VERY special offers contained in this
reprint. Check them
out – We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
If we may be of assistance in any way, please do not hesitate to
call us a 800.489.2611 or email
sales@falcondirect.com.
