Today the Fire Station is unable to house
the assigned resources creating the necessity to park the Rescue Ambulance
outside on the front apron of the Fire Station.

of Engineering survey determined problems with: space, seismic, heating
and air conditioning, electrical, plumbing,
building code, American Disabilities Act (ADA), fire protection systems, and
lack of adequate separate gender
facilities.

increase 18.2% for apparatus assigned to Fire
Station 64 by the year 2010. |
