Julie Johnson, Alpha Omega Disaster Restoration, Laurel, Montana approached the Fire Prevention Bureau regarding their desire to donate kids' plastic fire helmets with a retail value $1,000 to the City of Billings Fire Department.  Accepting this donation would provide the Fire Department with a popular giveaway for school fire safety programs, National Fire Prevention Week and fire station open house visits.  Donations of more than $500 must be reviewed and accepted by the City Council before the City accept and use the donation.

City Council may choose to approve or disapprove accepting the donation of kids' plastic fire helmets from Alpha Omega Disaster Restoration by the Fire Department, Fire Prevention Bureau.

There is no anticipated budgetary impact from this action.

Staff recommends accepting Alpha-Omega Disaster Restoration's donation of kids' plastic fire helmets, with a retail value $1,000, to be used as public education handouts.
