In 2016 the Institute was pleased to receive our third Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG). The Institute has received a grant in each of the three years that State Fire Training Agencies have been eligible for the AFG.

These grants require a 15% funding match from recipients. The Institute is fortunate to have adequate funding for this match. The $380,000 grant was awarded in 2016 is being used to purchase a Mobile Training Tower and a Business Class semi-tractor. The $57,000 matching funds investment allows the Institute to leverage that money toward receiving the $323,000 of federal funding for the project.

The Mobile Training Tower will be used to enhance training for Kansas firefighters by providing a safe platform to conduct “above grade” training. This type of training has grown problematic as building owners become more concerned about excessive

wear to roofs caused by allowing firefighters to use their buildings (roofs) for training. The tower will provide a safe, “non-destructive” platform on which technical rescue, ladder work, advancing hose, and many of the basic skills that need to happen above ground level can be performed. Communities that don’t have facilities to support this type of training will now have the advantage of realistic training that wasn’t available

to them in the past without traveling to neighboring communities or doing without.

The training tower will be built on a semi-trailer and towed to the training location. Once arriving in the local community, the tower will be raised hydraulically. Capabilities of the tower will include the ability to operate on each of the four levels. Windows at each level will allow access for ladder work, hoisting, rescue and a host of other functions. Each level (including the top level) will have anchor points for rope rescue training.

The Business Class Semi-Tractor will be used to tow the training tower and other semi-trailer based training props to local Kansas communities for training. Delivery of both the tower and the semi-tractor is expected in the spring of 2017.

AFGs have provided over $1,000,000 of valuable training resources to the Institute over the last three years. These grants have included the refurbishing of our interior firefighting simulator, computer-based driving simulators, and now the training tower and semi-tractor. These projects have improved the quality of our training and help prepare Kansas firefighters for the challenges of providing excellent fire protection for the citizens of Kansas.

Driving Simulator Purchase and Implementation

The Institute’s 2015 AFG award was used to purchase two computer-based driving simulators that are both mounted in one 36’ trailer. The simulators are computer operated and visually replicate driving a wide range of fire service vehicles in numerous environments. Mounting the simulators in a trailer allows the Institute to take this priceless training throughout Kansas.

Over 100 different simulations can be driven on the simulators in vehicles ranging from a chief’s SUV to a tiller ladder truck and everything in between. One of the simulators visually replicates driving SUVs, pickups, ambulances and commercial chassis fire apparatus. The second simulator includes a visual representation of a custom chassis apparatus including two seats (one for the driver and one for the officer) and includes a 3-D Crew

Trainer feature that allows company officers and drivers to train together in the same scenario.

Designed as a self-contained training resource, the only requirement of local departments to host the driving simulator will be to provide a place to park the trailer. A generator supplies the power to operate the nine computers required for the simulators to operate seamlessly as well as the HVAC and lighting necessary for a comfortable and challenging learning experience.

Instructor training is scheduled for January 2017, with implementation of end-user training beginning shortly thereafter.

2017 AFG Application

In November 2016, the Institute applied for the next round of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant. AFG awards are not expected to be made before spring or summer 2017. The Institute applied for funds to refurbish the flammable liquids and gases unit (propane trailer). Since purchasing the unit, normal wear and tear have taken their toll on the trailer and props. Repair work will prolong the life of the unit and increase its benefits by providing more realistic training for its users.

The Driving Simulator includes two simulators that allow firefighters to train for more than 100 driving scenarios.

NEW COURSES & UPDATES OF EXISTING COURSES

Early in FY 2015, the Institute was approached by the Metropolitan Energy Center (MEC) in Kansas City, Mo., to assist in the development of a course to teach response considerations for incidents involving alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs). The MEC was created by the U.S. Department of Energy to advocate and promote the use of alternative fuels. As a supporting element of their mission, this course teaches emergency responders response considerations for incidents involving AFVs.

The AFV course is structured in two parts. The first part is a course introduction targeted to all responders and organizations considering a switch of all or part of their fleets to alternative fuels. The second part of the course focuses on the fire department response to these incidents. While this course is not a “tactics” course, tactics are discussed within the context of strategic and operational considerations for these incidents. Fuel types addressed in the course are: propane, compressed

natural gas, electric, and liquefied natural gas.

The Institute joined the MEC’s staff and the primary technical subject matter experts from FS Circle Solutions in developing the course. FS Circle is an organization of fire service experts from across the U.S. with unique expertise in compressed natural gas and other alternative fuels pertaining to fueling vehicles. The Institute hosted a pilot course and Train-the-Trainer session during the first phase of the project’s development. The University of Missouri Fire & Rescue Training Institute (MUFRTI) also participated, reviewing materials and hosting a pilot course and a Train-the-Trainer at the conclusion of the first phase.

FS Circle provided technical expertise to write the courses while the Institute provided the expertise necessary to place the information in a format that fire service organizations across the nation can use to train firefighters. MEC was the project leader, and a U.S. Department of Energy grant provided the funding.

Work on the first phase of the project was completed in Fall 2016 and has been handed off to MUFRTI and KFRTI. Plans are to make courses available in the U.S. through the North American Fire Training Directors organization (the professional organization of state fire training directors from all U.S. states and Canadian provinces).

The project’s second phase will add an online version of the AFVs course. Development of this online course began in fall 2016 and will extend into 2017. Both traditional classroom and online courses will be available to Kansas firefighters after they are completed.

Alternative Fuel Vehicles

A typical compressed natural gas fleet fill operation.

Traffic Incident Management ProgramIn 2016, the Institute joined forces with the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) and the Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP) to create a Traffic Incident Management Program for all Kansas emergency responders. A stakeholder meeting was

hosted by KDOT, KHP, and the Institute in May. During that meeting, a steering committee was formed to provide guidance as the program took shape. The steering committee met and approved the framework of the program in August 2016.


NEW COURSES & UPDATES OF EXISTING COURSES (continued)

Since the August meeting, the program has provided a Train-the-Trainer course in Salina at the KHP Training Academy and at Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical in December 2016.

The program received a $60,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to support the delivery of training in Kansas. Goals include the beginning of multi-disciplined course delivery in January 2017.

The benefits of this training have proven to be a positive way to save first responder lives by reducing the risks of being struck by vehicles while operating on Kansas’ roads and highways. The training also helps to reduce clearance times for accidents, decreasing the potential for accidents and injuries due to secondary accidents.

Twelve multi-disciplined courses in areas outside the metropolitan areas of our state are targeted for the first year. These courses will include a multi-disciplined cadre of instructors. Local fire, EMS and law enforcement agencies also have the ability to teach this course in an in-service or in-house mode with their own instructors and on their own schedules.

This program was developed by the Federal Department of Transportation and is being sponsored in Kansas by KDOT, KHP, KFRTI, and numerous partners who participated in the creation of this statewide initiative. Together we are optimistic that this training will reduce injuries and deaths of first responders and improve traffic conditions around accidents on Kansas highways.

TIM training helps save the lives of first responders and reduces accident clearance times.

An excerpt from the TIM training curriculum.


One-Ton Duel-Rear-Wheel Tow Truck

The Institute added a new one-ton “Dually” pickup to our fleet in FY 2016. This truck is being used to tow the new 36’ driving simulator trailer.

36’ Driving Simulator Trailer

As mentioned in the AFG Grant Activities above, the Institute received the new driving simulator unit. The simulators are mounted in a 36’ trailer that will allow them to be taken to local communities for training.

Passenger Car

During FY 2016 the Institute replaced one passenger vehicle. After 140,000 miles of traveling Kansas roads, our vehicles get worn out. State and fleet pricing allows the replacement of these vehicles at very reasonable costs. The Institute maintains a small fleet of four passenger cars to serve the travel needs of six managers and coordinators.

16’ Trailer for Trench Rescue Course

A 16’ enclosed bumper-hitch trailer was purchased to replace an aging unit that was too small to hold the equipment needing to be stored. This purchase will allow better utilization of existing trailers and save them from exceeding their weight capabilities.

Value of Training Resources

The Institute has invested over $3.5 million over the last 14 years to purchase props and other dedicated training resources to improve firefighter training in Kansas. These resources include:

Props and Training Support Units

• Interior Firefighting Simulator

• Flammable Liquids & Gases Simulator

• Technical Rescue Support Unit

• Search & Rescue Training Unit

• Firefighter Skills Training Unit

• Emergency Fire Service Driving Simulator

• Grain Rescue Trainer

• Trench Rescue Training Unit

• Rural Water Supply Training Unit

• Rope Rescue Training Unit

• National Certification Testing Support Unit

• Surface Water Rescue Training Unit

Tow Vehicles

• Semi-Tractors (3 units)

• Heavy Duty Pickup Trucks (3 units)

These props and support units include semi-trailers and bumper-hitch trailers, as well as the significant amount of equipment that is housed within the units. The tow vehicles are dedicated for transporting props and support units to training locations throughout Kansas.

TRAINING INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS

FY 2016 Equipment Investments

The Driving Simulator acquired in 2016 illustrates how investments improve firefighter training in Kansas.


Future Equipment, Infrastructure and Program Improvements

Refurbishment of Flammable Liquids and Gases Training Simulator

Plans have been formulated to refurbish the Institute’s 45’ flammable liquids and gases training simulator. Time has taken its toll on the simulator since delivery in 2009 and it is in need of multiple repairs to continue its full capabilities. An application has been submitted to the AFG program. The Institute will receive notification in spring or summer 2017 if the application is accepted.

Staff Support Vehicle Replacement and Other Miscellaneous Purchases

The Institute plans to replace one passenger vehicle used by staff. The vehicle is nearing the 140,000-mile mark and shows the signs of old age. The Institute maintains a small fleet of four passenger vehicles to serve the transportation needs of our 11-person staff.

TRAINING INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS (continued)

FISCAL MATTERS (SUMMARY)

The Institute’s financial status remains stable and healthy. The primary reason for this stability is the conservative fiscal philosophy maintained by the Institute. In the early years of receiving Fire Insurance Tax funds, programs were rapidly expanded from 76 total deliveries in FY 2002 to over 500 programs in FY 2006. Since that time, program deliveries have stabilized at around 500 per fiscal year through FY 2016. Program growth has been constrained by the limited growth of our fiscal resources. Fire Insurance Tax funds have not grown as originally estimated in 2005. During the same time, operating costs grew faster than funding levels. The expansion of our programs has been carefully planned to remain within our ability to fund over the long-term.

Although the number of training programs delivered has stabilized, the expenses associated with delivering training have continued to rise. Mileage, meal and lodging reimbursement rates, turnpike tolls, and other costs associated with travel have all increased. The costs of goods and services required for operations have also increased. The Institute has purchased a number of trailer-based training props over the years. These props have greatly increased the value and quality of our courses, allowing us to provide realistic training that builds life-saving

practice and experience for participants. The duration of some basic firefighter courses continue to expand due to growing amount of content required by national standards. None of these single factors have increased the costs substantially; however, the cumulative effect of these increases combined with limited growth in Fire Insurance Premium Tax funding have the same result as a budget reduction.

Careful management of our resources has allowed continued firefighter training without having to limit the number of events provided. Continuing to provide the same volume of training grew more difficult in FY 2016. While all requests were filled, indications are now beginning to suggest that future training provided by the Institute may have to be limited due to inadequate funding. Conservative budget management will continue to be the guiding principle; however, once we exhaust all measures to conserve resources, operations will have to be reduced to match funding levels.

At the end of FY 2016, the Institute was notified of a $70,000 cut of KU funding support in our budget for FY 2017. The University has suffered a number of budget cuts over the past few years. Until now, KU protected the Institute’s budget by continuing


to fund us at previous levels. Unfortunately for everyone, the multiple cuts have taken their toll and our budget could no longer be protected from state cuts. As Kansas continues to suffer from budget shortfalls, the remaining general-use funding we receive from KU will continue to be at risk.

The Institute has been fortunate to receive grant support from the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program. In FY 2016, a $391,000 grant was received from that program for the purchase of a driving simulator (detailed earlier in this report). This is a competitive program that issues grant awards for designated state fire training agencies to purchase equipment, firefighter protective clothing, or vehicles (limited to firefighting vehicles or tow vehicles). The Institute has received $902,450 in AFG awards over the last three years. The primary benefit of these grants has been to transfer the purchase cost of high-dollar items from our budget to the grants. Given the nature of these grants, we will have increasing competition for future awards. Plans for funding future purchases must still be created within our existing financial resources. When grants are awarded, it allows the Institute to plan additional improvements in firefighter training programs and resources.

The conservative fiscal policies of the Institute have allowed for the uninterrupted delivery of training to the 650 fire departments and more than 16,500 firefighters across Kansas. The Institute has also made many improvements in the training infrastructure needed for a realistic and high-quality training experience for our firefighters. Future fiscal constraints will require us to continue our conservative budget management practices and may force some adjustment of how and when training is delivered. No major overhaul of program delivery is anticipated; however, actions to contain costs and expenses will most likely be required in the coming year. These actions will include (but are not be limited to):

• Closely monitoring overnight lodging approvals with the intent to limit lodging expenses.

• Reinforcing practices of selecting Associate Instructors closest to the training location (limit expense reimbursement).

• Limiting purchases of non-essential equipment and supplies.

• Limiting creation of new programs that will drive up long-term operating costs.

• Limiting out-of-state staff travel for conferences and related activities.

• Seeking grants and contracts that support our mission of training Kansas firefighters.

• Continuing development of online courses to replace face-to-face (classroom-based) courses where possible (this is a long-term process).

In addition to the actions above, the following modifications can be used to reduce expenses. These actions will be held in reserve as actions of last resort.

• Restricting low-attendance courses (courses with fewer than 15 students).

• Using staff to deliver courses rather than associate instructors.

• Limiting courses by regionalizing training that include semi-trailer mounted props (courses that incur high delivery costs).

• Recruiting in-house volunteer instructors to assist with courses (reducing the number of paid instructors).

Changes will always be assessed to determine the impact of our ability to accomplish our mission of “Training Firefighters for Kansas Communities.”
