Station Locations
Our fire stations are geographically located for a rapid response by the engine company to the alarm. To achieve this the city has been split into basically four areas with an engine company assigned to protect it's area and respond as first due engine on all 1st., Still, and Rescue alarms. This location of stations in the four basic areas allows at least one engine company to respond to the alarm without crossing railroad tracks that divide the city.
