AFA Response Time Reduction Resolution Before Council Tomorrow - 5 Critical New Fire Stations Needed Immediately
Dear Brother and Sister firefighters,
Tomorrow is a great milestone for the AFA Response Time Reduction Project. This project, if embraced by City Council, will direct City Staff each budget year, to prepare a plan and timeline to build the top five needed fire stations. This plan will be submitted to the City Council in open session each year and will provide the Council a data driven tool to reach informed decisions on new fire station location and construction timing.
