A fire rescue station is needed in the east Ivy area of the County to meet the response time goals in the western portion of the countyÂ’s development area. Currently, the area is served by the CityÂ’s Ivy Rd station which will be relocated to the Fontaine Research park area. The relocated station will not be able to meet the response time requirements. There is also a need to provide services within 5 miles of the densely populated area of Ivy (the most populated rural area of the County) to help lower insurance ratings from a 10 (worst rating) to a 5 or 4. Staff estimates that a citizen who lives within 600 ft of a fire hydrant would save an average of 50% on their annual insurance premium.
