Spring 2009 FAMA Meeting Board of Directors Report John Sztykiel

Change is Now the Only Constant
Society, markets, and business models are changing, as tomorrow will be different from today 18 John Sztykiel

ER Data Drivers – Market Evolution
Pumps are now used less than 5% of the time NFPA is committed to ambulance inclusion Global…86% of the world population will live in emerging markets by 2050 Green…$104 billion dollars are expected to be spent by U.S. consumers on Green goods and services in 2008 Attractive exchange rate vs Euro There are substantial state and federal programs that encourage alternative fuel use 19 John Sztykiel

More than 900 mayors have signed the U.S. Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, in which cities pledge to reduce carbon emissions by 7% below 1990 levels by The agreement now represents more than 81 million Americans Fire departments respond to a call for help every 1.4 seconds “There are 120,000 fewer volunteer firefighters under the age of 40 today than 20 years ago.” (Source: National Volunteer Fire Council) 20 John Sztykiel

Every 5 minutes in the United States, 23 adults are turning 65 and by 2030 that number will double. Within 10 years, almost 50 million Americans will be over 65, and for the first time in our history, the elderly will outnumber children under age 5. Federal funding “President Bush’s fiscal year 2009 budget request for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) represents $50.5 billion in funding, which is an increase of 6.8% over the 2008 fiscal year level – excluding funds provided in emergency supplemental funding.” (Source: Department of Homeland Security) Approximately 54% (or 67,000) of all fire trucks are greater than 15 years old 21 John Sztykiel

25,400 fire departments (82% of 31,000) do not have an aerial waterway device 16,000 ER accidents per year or 44 per day Wildfires 9.3 million acres burned in 2007 4.5 million acres have burned in 2008 YTD Reduction in state and local budgets “States ended fiscal year 2007 with $66.8 billion in their coffers—down from the $81.0 billion the previous year. Balances are expected to drop again in fiscal 2008 to $51.2 billion, a drop of 37% vs fiscal 2006.” (Source: State of the States 2008) 22 John Sztykiel

Product / Market Evolution
NFPA 1901, 2010 emission – avg cost increase $10,000 to $25,000/ vehicle Note: As the price of trucks go up, the number of units purchased goes down. What will happen with 2010 emissions? 23 John Sztykiel

2009 Major Initiatives All standing committees Provide clear vision
Provide tools for accountability Board liaisons to committees Identify Top 3 priorities Alignment with other committees to ensure execution 24 John Sztykiel

Spring Meeting 28 John Sztykiel

Spring Meeting Since 1993 Great performance
Number of members attending is up 64% Cost per meeting fee is down 36% Cost per hotel room is up 69% Great performance Bob Grimaldi Past/current FAMA Boards Meeting Planning Committee 29 John Sztykiel

2009 Major Initiatives Long-range plan (years)
Objectives Initiatives Organizational chart Revenue stream Improve strategic relationships with other associations Ambulances – FAMA’s position – clarify 30 John Sztykiel

Why a Long-Range Plan? Today, the FAMA president works an extra 3 to 7 hrs/wk Board member – 1 to 5 hrs/wk Committee chairs – 1 to 3 hrs/wk President, Board members, committee chairs all utilize people within their own firms Federal governments (Canada and U.S.) greater involvement and opportunity State/provincial process just starting Markets are changing now, global vs just U.S. and Canada in the past Membership has higher expectations 31 John Sztykiel

John Sztykiel’s Conclusion
Long term, an all-volunteer process is unsustainable Long term, the current revenue process will not sustain the association Society evolves and markets evolve FAMA has and must continue to evolve 32 John Sztykiel

Spring 2009 FAMA Meeting NFPA 1500 and 18/18A Dominic Colletti

NFPA 1500 & 18 Committees FAMA representatives:
NFPA 1500 – Leroy Coffman (A) and Dominic Colletti (P) NFPA 18 – Jerry Halpin [Pending NFPA appointment] (A) and Dominic Colletti (P) Mission Statement: The mission of both committees is to represent the best interests of the FAMA group regarding providing input into proposed standard changes, with the end result of making conditions safer for firefighters and the public; and to provide feedback and report to the FAMA board and membership on items that may significantly impact the members of the association. Regarding significant issues, the FAMA board will review and direct committee voting activity. NFPA 1500 & 18/18A

NFPA 18 Committee NFPA 18 – Standard on Wetting Agents
Technical Committee is responsible for two separate documents: NFPA 18 – Standard on Wetting Agents ROP meeting in Rhode Island last fall No red flag issues for the FAMA membership at this time. NFPA 18A –Standard on Water Additives For Fire Control and Vapor Mitigation This document just entered its revision cycle with a meeting in Albuquerque, NM, in January. No red flag issues for the FAMA membership at this time. NFPA 1500 & 18/18A

NFPA 1500 Committee NFPA 1500: Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program The 1500 Technical Committee met in Washington, DC, last August. The members began formulating committee proposals for the revision of the 1500 document, which is just entering cycle. FAMA is on two NFPA 1500 document ‘work groups’: Accountability – including new technology – electronic tracking and locating systems Vehicle Operations – reducing vehicle crashes and apparatus incidents We have begun to position the intent of the “Annex D” language in the main body of the 1500 standard, specifically language to cover technological obsolescence of fire apparatus. First step toward this goal is to prevent tankers/tenders without Anti-Lock brakes from using “emergency speed.” Please note that, currently, the Technical Committee is in the very early phases of document revision. NFPA 1500 & 18/18A

2009 Objectives Year 2009 FAMA Committee NFPA 1500 and 18 Objectives:
Remain active with both NFPA technical committees and identify any areas of the proposed 1500 and 18 series of standards that could affect FAMA member companies. Regarding the 1500 document, stay active with the NFPA technical committee and continually educate members on the safety impacts regarding changes in fire apparatus. Position the intent of existing “Annex D” language, now in the Annex of the existing 1500 document, to move up into the main body of the standard during the next 1500 revision cycle, or draft new language on technological obsolescence of fire apparatus. NFPA 1500 & 18/18A

Spring 2009 FAMA Meeting Trade Shows Committee Rick Fix, Chair

We will also be taking direction from the board on any help/support that they might need in investigating FAMA show opportunities/partnerships in the future. Budget requirements at this time are $0. Fire Research will cover any travel expenses that I might incur. I will be seeking input from the members on any other items that they might like addressed in the trade show surveys in the future. I met with the FAMA Board at FDSOA and reviewed some ideas on what the board is looking for. Trade Shows

Long Range Planning Committee
Committee Members Tim Dean Peter Darley Jerry Halpin Bruce Whitehouse Long Range Planning

Primary Issues Facing FAMA
Role of FAMA in NFPA FAMA INFLUENCE ON NEW NFPA (Ambulance Standard) Role of GAC to influence federal dollars for increased fire truck market. Should GAC be the vehicle for a “Truck Only” increase Long Range Planning

Role of FAMA in NFPA Establish Policy Guidelines for FAMA representative to clearly understand role FAMA plays at the NFPA table other than gathering information for FAMA members Long Range Planning

Growth of FAMA Decide on future role of other manufacturing bodies such as Ambulance and ask Member committee to reach out to key players in these bodies to join FAMA Long Range Planning

GAC Role Decide on next steps for GAC (lobbying role or informational role only) Continue to develop relationships with key DC players to foster federal dollars into fire industry for growth of new fire truck sales Long Range Planning

Other FAMA Action Items
Have Great Meetings to foster opportunities for networking, supplier development and fun Market Annex D and other initiatives to make fire departments understand safety of new technology Develop measurement tools to ensure membership interests equal FAMA objectives Long Range Planning

Ambulances / Statistics
Spring 2009 FAMA Meeting Ambulances / Statistics Jack McLoughlin

Goal To collect and disseminate data to FAMA members in an accurate and timely manner. 125 Statistics 125

Mission As stated by the Board: “The mission of the Statistics Committee of the Fire Apparatus Manufacturers' Association (FAMA) is to further the collection of data.” 126 Statistics 126

Surprise! We collected and disseminated data to FAMA members in an accurate and timely manner. 127 Statistics 127

We have spent $1,050 year-to-date out of a budget of $4,500.
Update We have spent $1,050 year-to-date out of a budget of $4,500. 128 Statistics 128

How Statistics Are Gathered
Participants log into famamembers.org and report bookings and shipments for the quarter. The website is administered by an independent accounting firm. The totals are mailed to all firms that participated in the survey and made available to all FAMA members on the fama.org website. 129 Statistics 129

Benefits from Statistics
Enable the Statistics Committee to provide more detailed marketing information. Regional analysis of truck sales by type Is your sales force effective in a given region? Are you losing or gaining market share? 130 Statistics 130

Objectives Encourage more OEMs to participate Encourage participation
Reduce error in reporting through electronic gathering of statistics 131 Statistics 131

Note Please do not call to check on completed statistics if your company has not completed theirs. It is embarrassing for all of us. 132 Statistics 132
