This project seeks grant support to provide equipment for the Hawaii Fire Department's Makalei and Kailua Fire Stations in West Hawari, enabling fire suppression, emergency response, training, and station operations. These enhancements will further safeguard public health by promoting faster, more effective emergency responses and supporting safer community outcomes. For the Makalei Fire Station, the project includes tools and equipment to help eliminate fire fuel around the station and the properties it protects, thereby reducing fire risks and protecting public health. Equipment such as a string trimmer and lawn mower will help keep the area safer. The project also includes an outdoor gazebo to provide an additional venue for training, studying, and other station -related activities that support emergency preparedness and public wellness. A freezer will also be provided to support emergency rescue and EMS, ensuring immediate access to ice for ambulance operations, and contributing to improved public health outcomes. For the Kailua Fire Station, the project includes headsets to improve communication during emergency response, supporting timely and effective care for public health situations. The project also includes a buoy system to support rescue and emergency operations, directly enhancing residents' health and safety. This grant will directly enhance operational readiness, safety, training, and emergency response support at both fire stations, enabling them to better serve the West Hawari community. *43. 5O1(c)(3) Mission Statement The mission of the Daniel R.
