Fire Department
 
 
Long Term Capital Strategy
FIRE's Capital Plan is driven by two service delivery needs. The first is to maintain the facilites and infrastructure neceesssary to maintain the current level of service. The second is the need to add new fire stations consistent with the Fire Department Master Siting Plan. Maintaining the facilites and infrastructure is the justiifcation for FIRE's capital requests for hydrants, Opti-Com, and Major R/M. Adding fire stations is necessary as the City grows to maintain the response time/distance adopted in the Bosie City Comprehensive Plan.

The Capital Plan for new fire stations is prepared with potential dates for projects. It should be understood that the need for those additional stations will be driven by an increase in our service area due to annexations.
 
Two Year Highlights
Construction of the Fire Station #14 (Five Mile/Hollandale) is FIRE's highest capital priroity. This station is a shared-funding project with the Whitney Fire District. There is one FTE (Battalion Chief) identified in the Master Siting Plan for this station. There are no other FTE's needed as the crew from Whitney Station #1 will be transferred to this station. The City has acquired the site.

The majority of the sites in the Master Siting Plan have been acquired by the City, with three sites remaining to be acquired. Commitments to provde two of those sites have been made.
