WHERE WILL IT BE LOCATED?
Emergency Services Consulting International (ESCI) and American Fork City are looking at placing the new fire station in the northeast part of American Fork City, near the State’s Developmental Center and Mt. Timpanogos Temple. This is strategic for a number of reasons. First, the location will allow better response times to the citizens and businesses in the northeast and northwest areas of the city. This will also be a key location in being able to leverage the soon-to-be-added Murdock Connector. The location will allow personnel to respond to those areas in the northeast and northwest, and contract service area's within the recommended four-to six-minutes, which is currently not possible with our existing fire station.
Second, this location allows the city to provide better coverage to several target hazards frequented by our firefighters, including the State Developmental Center, Mt. Timpanogos Temple, and American Fork Hospital. |
