Plans for new fire stations move forward

Plans are moving forward for the design and construction of five new fire and EMS stations. AFD has a goal of an 8-minutes response time, but it’s been well documented that neighborhoods like Del Valle, Goodnight Ranch, and Canyon Creek have response times can climb as high as 19 minutes.  Back in June, the council approved five brand new stations, and Public Works Director Richard Mendoza ground should be broken by next year on the first station. The second station should break ground 12 months after that.  Mendoza says the city’s Real Estate department is still trying to secure the remaining properties.
