Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) has awarded the City of Sacramento Fire Department a grant to purchase one (1) magpatch. The Fire Department is one of six California Specialized Training Institute (CSTI) certified Hazardous Materials Training sites in California. This site actively trains responders to handle hazardous materials incidents of all types safely and efficiently, including transportation emergencies. These hazardous materials courses and the certified site help fill a significant gap in training Hazmat first responders in the Sacramento region and throughout the state. There are multiple large rail lines through this area as well as multiple major interstates with significant transportation of hazardous materials. Response to hazmat incidents involving transportation is a critical component of this series and the curriculum. These transportation emergencies include large-scale rail as well as highway transportation incidents.
Plugging and patching leaks from pipelines, fixed facilities, highway transportation tankers, and rail tank cars is a critical component of a number of these training courses. One mechanism of plugging

and patching these leaks involves application of specially designed Magnetic Patch kits for Hazardous Materials leak mitigation. This Magnetic Patching kit allows those advanced techniques to be taught on our training railcars, highway trucks, pipe trees, and fixed facility props in these courses.
With the initial purchase of these kits, we anticipate greater than fifteen (15) years of training opportunities. CalOES requires governing body authorization to accept a grant award.

Sustainability: Not Applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not Applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: The grant funds will provide a Magnetic Patch kit for the California Specialized Training Institute (CSTI) certified Hazardous Materials Training sites at the Fire Department's McClellan training site. The Magpatch will allow critical hazmat training to responders in Sacramento, the region, and the state.
Financial Considerations: The $11,962.50 grant award will provide funding for the Fire Department to purchase one MagPatch kit for Hazardous materials training for our department’s special operations unit.
