In our grant, under "contractual" there is $15,600 per year to use for firefighter training. In the description for those dollars we commented that we would use the funds to pay for instructors to operate two firefighter 1 and II classes per year. We are stated we would put those funds towards training firefighters to the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) level as well. Since the grant submission, the Minnesota State Board of Firefighter Training and Education (MBFTE) have offered funds to support training firefighter to firefighter I-11. Therefore, we no longer have the need for funds for the firefighter portion. We do however; need the funds to pay for the EMT class. We are requesting to use $15,600 per year to provide EMT Training to all the candidates who graduate from the Firefighter I-11 classes. httns J/eservices.fema.aov/FemaFireGrant/firearart/iso/fire/manaaernent/viewamendment.do 1/1
