Current facility is too small to accommodate larger apparatus and career staff that occupy building 365 days a year. Location of new facility is "TBD" as a site closer to the Southpark Mall corridor is preferred. Significant development in the Southpark area including mid-rise hotels and large numbers of retail visitors to the City are not in close proximity to the current fire station 1. Even though this is one of the most populated areas it is one of the longest response areas for Fire and EMS; Project will improve quality of service, reduce response times, and provide ability to relocate the Tower Ladder / Quint to the areas containing midrise buildings.
