<br />Saint Cloud Fire Department, MN <br /> <br />Fire Protection Master Plan- Executive Summary Document <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 2: Long-term Deployment Strategy Performance Comparison <br /> <br />80% <br /> <br /> <br />100% <br /> <br />60% <br /> <br />40% <br /> <br />20% <br /> <br />0% <br /> <br />The proposed strategy shows nearly a twenty percent increase in the amount of the city.s land area <br />falling within the target response time capability. <br /> <br />Timing of new or replacement facilities is always a concern. The deployment strategy represents <br />facility locations that we anticipate will be needed during the twenty-year life of this master plan. It is <br />not our intent to suggest that all facilities are needed today. We anticipate the relocation of existing <br />Station #6 would occur first and in conjunction with the need to create full-time staffing capability at <br />the southern station. This project should have a 2 to 4 year target completion time period. <br /> <br />In addition to this facility relocation, the ability to staff Station #5 in the future would require changes at <br />that facility. Our evaluation of the facility indicated it was in good condition and suitable for continuing <br />use as a full-service fire station. Unfortunately, the building does not have adequate living facilities for <br />on-duty staffing. Currently, however, there is a large portion of this building occupied by another <br />agency. <br /> <br />It is our recommendation that negotiations take place to facilitate this agency's relocation to another <br />site if at all possible. Doing so will permit the resulting square footage to be renovated for use as living <br />quarters for on-duty staffing. We have anticipated approximately 3,000 square feet of renovation as a <br />capital project that would be part of this long-term strategy. This project should have a 1 to 3 year <br />target completion time period. <br /> <br />6 <br />
