Vendor Spotlight: Under Armour
 When it comes to public safety, it's all about the gear. But what's the story behind the companies who design and produce the equipment you rely on every day?
Every month, the CHIEF Star highlights one of our 300 vendors and tells you more about their history, their products, and their commitment to serving you. We call it our "Vendor Spotlight". Look for it in each monthly newsletter, or find them online at any time at CHIEFsupply.com/resources/vendors.
December's Vendor Spotlight: Under Armour
It all began in 1996 when Kevin Plank, a former college football player, wanted to create a t-shirt that worked with the body to regulate temperature by wicking away moisture instead of absorbing it. This would, in turn, enhance the body's physical performance. By using a superior fabric that provided the right amount of compression, plus an exclusive moisture management system, the first Under Armour t-shirt was born. Full story »

Grant News by Kurt Bradley, CHIEF Grants
 November Recap - Public Safety Grants
Fire departments around the country got in their Fire Prevention & Safety Program applications in time for the Nov. 30 deadline. Good job, and good luck to all who applied!
As we near the holiday season, here's a great "present" you'll want to try to win for your agency – a Polaris Ranger. U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company's Operation Ranger Program is one of the most popular grants available. It's very competitive, but winning one of these rugged 6x6 utility vehicles is a boon for agencies with rural, backwoods recreational and wildland areas under their protection. Contact Kurt and Margaret for help with your Operation Ranger application (deadline Dec. 28), and maybe Santa will pull up to your department on a big ol' green 6x6 utility sleigh!

From CHIEF Grants - November 29, 2007
Over the last few days, DHS has sent out "dear john" letters to many FY2007 AFGP applicants who have not passed the peer review stage, according to CHIEF Grants consultant Kurt Bradley. The notices were delivered only to the personal email of the contact person listed on the grant and not posted to the online application mail site. "Applicants need to check their personal email closely for any communications," says Kurt. "If you have not received anything at this point, you should still be in the running for an Assistance to Firefighters Grant award."
