Fire Station Location and Optimization Report 

The 2014 Fire Station Location and Optimization Report is an analysis of existing conditions and future needs. Current conditions were assessed by studying community risk data such as call loads, population densities and existing home and business vulnerabilities. Future needs were determined through the examination of forecasted call volumes and population densities and by studying future land use and growth area build-out projections. This comprehensive study is vital to create a reliable picture of the credible coverage challenges faced today and in the future.
