radios and pagers are not eligible under this activity but are eligible under the Equipment <br />activity. <br />(e) Modificationsto fire stations and facilities activities: DHS may make grants <br />to modify fire stations, fire training facilities, and other facilities to protect the health and <br />safety of firefighting personneL (Please note that activities that involve modifications to <br />facilities are subj ect to all applicable environmental and historic preservation <br />requirements.) Eligible measures under this activity are limited but focused on <br />promoting fire and life safety in fire stations and facilities. We believe that each of the <br />eligible measures, if incorporated, would make any facility safer for firefighters. <br />Measures that are eligible for funding are the installation of sprinkler systems, <br />installation of vehicle e�aust extraction systems, the installation of smoke andlor fire <br />alarm notification systems, and the installation of emergency facility generators. We will <br />not fund any other requests for modificationsthan the initiatives listed herein. Any <br />vehicle e�aust extraction system obtained should be extensive enough to extract all to�c <br />vapors and particulates emitted from internal combustion engines and meet all applicable <br />Federal, State, and local standards. Some e�aust extraction systems may meet standards <br />for removal of certain carcinogens, but not others; therefore, it may be necessary to <br />utilize more than one system to fully protect your firefighters. <br />The grant funds are to be used to retrofit e�sting structures that do not have the <br />eligible safety features or to upgrade facilities whose features are dated. The funds are <br />not to be used to supplement new construction. Many of these modifications may require <br />environmental review, which may delay an award. <br />J� <br />
