Reports Requiring Direction
a)
Joint Station Location and Fleet Study - Presented by ORH Graham Holland reviewed his report indicating that the key objective was to support both South Frontenac Fire Services a d Central Frontenac Fire Services in making data-driven decisions around future locations of fire stations and fleet across both townships. Included in the report were the statistics for each township on incidents from January 1, 2016 to October 31, 2021 which included alarms, fire calls, medical assist calls, motor vehicle accidents and rescue calls. The study provided the optimal coverage results both in road coverage and housing coverage broke down between what currently exists and what optimized results would be for each municipality using 5 kilometre, 8 kilometre and 13 kilometre ranges. The study also looked at combining and/or reducing the number of fire halls taking into account that the Perth Road Station and the Battersea Road (to be constructed in 2022) would remain in their fixed locations as they are the newest facilities. The report concluded that generally the stations in both township are closely aligned to optimal sites and there are limited opportunities at this time for providing large coverage gains without significant investment in new station locations across the townships.
