STATION FACILITY ASSESSMENT
• New EMS equipment & regulations require dedicated spaces not currently provided
• Code seismic design forces are greater than current stations were designed for
• Modern apparatus require larger bays• Specialty units/response have unmet storage
needs• Limited capability for in-station training• Additional space needed to address air quality
(separation of firefighter gear from apparatus)

TRAINING ASSESSMENT
• Past 30 Year Useful Life
• Deficient Training Tower
• Inadequate Storage Areas
• Limited Classroom Size
• Limited Administrative & Training Facilities
• Inadequate Training Area
