FIRE Proposed Fire Station Property Mayor Gonzales announced the City Council would now take up consideration of the offer of grant deed from Mr. Tom Villelli for property on the Cooley Ranch to used for a proposed Fire Station. Councilman Rehrer stated he was leery of the offer of this land and stated he would need all questions answered before taking action. Fire Chief Teague addressed the Council saying he was prepared to point out the response times in the areas covered by existing stations, as well as, the proposed site. Chief Teague proceeded to indicate and describe response times from a display map looking at fire protection for the total community. The Chief pointed out the map is based on a 12 mile response time, with the Red Area, being served from Station No. 1, built in 1937, covering south to Congress, west to Rancho, all of the east portion and north to Laurel. Mr. Teague said the response time is actual driving capability. Chief Teague continued by pointing out the Green Area, being served from Station Q No. 2, built in 1957, covering the northwestern part of the city. The Chief explained the Blue Area as that area that would be covered if a fire station were located on the proposed site before the Council tonight. Lastly, the Chief pointed out the Yellow Area as that area that would be covered if a station were to be located on the City owned Wallin site.
