FIRE & EMERGENCY SERVICES Facilities A feasibility study was conducted by Freytag & Associates to identify issues related to Station 2 (411 S. Vandemark). The results of this study revealed that the replacement of station 2 was most appropriate. In late 2022, an agreement was reached to purchase property on Campbell Road adjacent to the current city campus on Vandemark Road. In 2023, design and engineering work will be completed for this replacement. Staffing In 2022, the department was authorized to return to full staffing of 11 personnel per shift. This staffing level was last maintained from 1999 to the Great Recession in the late 2000s. Training is a key component for staff to be able to effectively and efficiently manage the emergencies to which we respond. That is why over 4,190 hours of training were conducted in 2022. By the numbers: 3,001 EMS calls for service 1,126 fire calls for service 1,271 ( 30.8%) Overlapping calls (multiple incidents occurring at the same time) occurred.
