Some of the points made: 22 years ago Fire House moved to cu(fent location. At tirne, smart move because it was centrally located and near the main roads. • we have automatic aid for every area in town. Insurance-wise,vire are graded a '" 3"� f the calls are in the4-minute response time zone area around Rotary. Challenge is the areas that take 6 to 12 mutes to reach. These are outside the" *'code and insurance considers them non-protected areas. Area changing...South Mashpee and New Seabury undergoing tremendous build-up. • Chief Baker recommends placing substation on Town owned land on Red Brook Road. This would reduce -minute response zones to 4 to -12 minutes response time. • booked at pre-fab construction for substation but dismissed because cannot withstand hurricane. Adding to the existing Fixe House solves needed spm,but doesn't give us the unproved response time that is needed. Chief Baker provided a copy of'the Project Request Form he submitted for South Mabee Fire Substation,which is attached to the printed set of these minutes.
