Initial Conclusions Layout of the fire station in regards to the apparatus

room is an issue to be addressed

Doors and other obstacles are also areas to look into todecrease turnout times

Equipment location is a possible contributor to delay

Short Term RecommendationAutomatically opening doors

Open simultaneously with alarms

Shave time off of routes to apparatus room that havedoors.

Benefits

Shave precious seconds off of overall response time to anemergency

Less chance for someone to be hit by a door when analarm is called in.

Long Term Recommendations Construct a new building with new, improved layout.

All rooms closer to apparatus room

Dramatically shortens turnout times

Benefits

Shave precious seconds off of overall response time to an

emergency Improved overall living accommodations
