Analysis

During the 2016 ISO evaluation, it was noted that the future ISO score would be negatively affected if the fire department does not add a fifth ladder truck. An alternate option was to change the deployment of the current 4 ladder trucks. In 2019, we hired a consultant to perform a Aerial Truck review and provide the best analysis of where to place the ladder trucks for optimal coverage. This presentation will present the three options and help provide analysis on the option the fire department will implement when fire station 3 opens.
