DISCUSSION
On September 19, 2005, the City Council accepted a $8.4 million Urban Area
Security Initiative grant from the federal Department of Homeland
Security, through the State of California, Office of Homeland Security.
This initiative was designed to enhance the domestic preparedness of urban
areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have adequate
equipment and systems to prevent, respond to and recover from acts of
terrorism. The grant provides total reimbursement to local agencies for
equipment purchases approved and authorized by the Office of Disaster
Preparedness.
The Santa Ana Division of Homeland Security requires thermal imaging
cameras, parts and accessories to aid the firefighters in locating trapped
occupants in structure fires that may result from acts of terrorism. The
thermal imaging camera is a hand-held device that enhances the ability of
firefighters to see in near zero visibility conditions, adding a degree of
safety by decreasing the chances of a firefighter becoming disoriented or
lost while in the structure. The camera may also be used to locate small
hidden fires using temperature readings shown in the camera's viewfinder,
thus eliminating the need to open up hidden areas of the structure to
search for the fire.
