By doing this, the fire department will be able to advertise <br /> these prevention positions with compensation benefits allowing me <br /> a larger recruiting pool from which to draw and a proven ability <br /> to retain these individuals after we invest training dollars into <br /> them. <br /> Long term benefits include a reduction in the occurrence of <br /> severe fights which translates to less injuries and deaths for <br /> both civilians and firefighters. Less property damage would also <br /> be a direct benefit as well as an ability to maintain or possibly <br /> even reduce suppression costs. This action has already been <br /> taken in the capital budget where a full 33% was cut in the form <br /> of less equipment in anticipation of reduced need. <br /> Alice Johnson will be the House author of the bill, Jane Krentz <br /> will be the Senate author. This proposal is supported by the <br /> League of Cities, the State Fire Marshall, Ramsey County Chiefs <br /> and Tri-Date Corporation which is the Nation's expert on fire <br /> prevention. <br />
