Our department has dealt with the issue of trains since 1988 when station 4 was <br /> built. It has caused some delays over the years, not because the fire truck couldn't <br /> get out of the station., but because our Paid.on Call. firefighters coming -from.home - <br /> couldn't get to the station. With the staffed station model there will be <br /> firefighters in the station, if a train is crossing when there is a fire call they will. <br /> drive north.to 694 or County Road F and get off on Lexington, Snelling or 35W <br /> as needed. Iglus there is a second truck coming from a different station that will <br /> be coming from.a different direction. <br /> o Does the closing of Station 1 have a negative impact on the ISO rating? <br /> The simple answer is no, it won't have a negative impact on the ISO rating. We <br /> believe we will receive credit for many improvements that have occurred since <br /> the last review. The following items will give us additional points never received <br /> before: <br /> Staffed Fire Stations 24/7 365 <br /> Consolidated Dispatch <br /> :Expanded training requirements <br /> Automatic Aid Agreements for structure fires <br /> es <br /> Carried water on LJFD trucks <br /> o Does the LJFD need to look again at the New Brighton fire dept. relationship for <br /> serving the west side of Arden Hills? <br /> We have asked New Brighton:F.D. if they were interested in an Automatic Aid. <br /> Agreement and,they declined. That is an.open invitation.to them in.the future. In <br /> the meantime we will request mutual aid if additional resources are needed. <br /> ■ Support for duty crew& closing of Station 1----Is the City of Arden Hills "on board" for <br /> the long term plan? <br /> We eagerly await your decision. <br />
