Why new personnel and stations?
Consistent with industry standards, TVF&R’s travel time objective is 5 minutes 12 seconds or less. Demands on our services are challenging our network of stations.
Additional firefighters, at new and existing sites within TVF&R’s network, will improve response times and increase the reliability of current stations to serve their immediate neighborhoods. Positions that support safe and reliable emergency operations such as fire prevention, training, and apparatus maintenance will also be funded.
