b. Fire Station Location Study. Fire Chief Jay Wittwer presented an overview of
the Fire Station Location Study. The City contracted with an independent
third consulting firm, FACETS, to look at our historic calls for service, current
response times, and other data, and make recommendations as to the best
locations for our fire stations. He highlighted two maps in particular, the
historic incidents map, showing the volume of calls from different locations
in Tukwila over the last five years, the current four -minute response time
map from existing stations, and the four -minute response time map from
proposed new locations. Chief Wittwer pointed out that due to the
relocation of fire station 51 from Andover Park East to 1801h and Southcenter
Parkway in anticipation of future development in the south end of the city,
and due to higher call volumes south of the existing location of Station 52,
FACETS recommends that Station 52 move down the hill from its current
location to within a half mile or less 'ofthe intersectionofSouthcenter Blvd
and 65th Ave. FACETS recommended that Station 54 remain within a half mile
or less of its current location. These recommendations are based on data,
and give us the best locations to provide fast and fair response times
throughout the city. Chief Wittwer indicated that he is absolutely
comfortable with and confident in these recommendations. Department staff
were extensively interviewed by the FACETS team, and understand the
reasons for the recommendations. The group discussed the presentation and
asked questions. No action is needed at this time. Chief Wittwer encouraged
committee members to reach out with questions at any time.
