So that is going to be a big lift financially, etc. And we will keep the Fire Commission apprised of our progress as well as the board of supervisors. And the Mayors Office with the progress on that i believe that is a first ordinance if the country mandating, you know, that in turn out gear for firefighters and in addition, i penalty sent link on the nbc piece on this and they did. On issues and some of our, you know, some of the pros and some of my concerns and logistics that i spoke about last time but really what we need to continue to stress is that our members follow all the policies do air monitoring and dpe contamination in the that piece by nbc we saw lieutenant who also a Breast Cancer survivor and spoke about her experience. So pretty powerful piece i hope many of you got to see it it speaking of the overhaul policy people things are smoking and aware of air on air and under the health and safety chief i signed off on the um, a letter to do a study on that are power aired purified respirators and testing those with a couple of Truck Companies so see if necessary worked at efficiency and got air pack the Gold Standard and so anyways im not certain of the schedule but they are lighter and have less weight on their backs. I attended the budget analyst Prevention Program fundraiser and sat next to scientist named arlene instrumental in with the San FranciscoFire Department and Cancer Foundation and frankly for the country as far as studying a lot of those toxic chemicals we talk about not o in flame retardants and instrumental in getting this p sort of attention around that and 10 or 12 years ago and working on flame reretardants in vehicles not providing protection atmospheric toxic and i will say fighting and car fire is one of the most toxic things we can do with all the chemicals go the plastics very toxic fires to fight shes working on that and owe her a debt of gratitude.
