safe zone for temporary firehall



why

3

temporary firehall No.5Why do we need a temporary firehall?• The current firehall No.5 needs to be replaced, while that happens a temporary firehall for the crews and equipment needs to be provided.

Why here?• The locations we are considering are within the central zone of Fire District 5. It is important to be in this zone so that quick response to all parts of the district is maintained.

How long?• It is expected that the reconstruction will take about one year, the deconstruction of the existing firehall will take 1-2 months. During this time the temporary firehall will be operating. Additionally there will be time to set up the hall, and time to remove the hall and restore the landscape.• Return park to original condition immediately after it is vacated.

new firehall No.5Why do we need to replace firehall No.5?• The seismic resistance of the structure is well below current standards - a strong earthquake could make the building unusable.• The firetrucks are larger and heavier - larger truck bays are needed.• The driveway is too short: pedestrians are diverted onto 54th (with safety cones) when the truck is parked outside – this must happen daily as checks on the equipment need to be done outside• The community is growing - an additional ladder truck and extra crew will be needed in a few years as the East Fraser Lands are constructed.• The accommodation needs to keep up with changing standards - more space for larger trucks, for staff training, keeping fit and a mask repair workshop that will maintain all self-contained breathing apparatus for the entire department.• Space is needed for staff training and for public courses provided by the fire department in CPR, first aid training and blood pressure clinics.

wildlandOff-road vehicle for wildland interface fires - water tank, foam and forestry hose; medical cross over - carries medical supplies and equipment.

engine / pumpThis equipment has larger high volume pumps and water tanks for structure, rubbish, wildlands interface and car fires; emergency medical response; emergency response for motor vehicle accidents - auto extraction tools; low level hazardous responses; public service calls; equipment transportation - hose, ground ladders,ventilation equipment, auxiliary power supplies; premise inspections.

firehall No. 5 factYou can see that the unit takes up the length of the ramp requiring pedestrians to walk out onto the road to get around the truck. The parking area beside the hall is on a steep grade what isn’t good for checking the truck over (pretrips). This particular unit was struck once when a cube van hit the tip of the Ladder in front of the firehall.

quint / ladder truckThis vehicle addresses structure, car and rubbish fires - (smaller pumps and water tanks than engines) - aerial rescue operations, elevated water streams for exposures and fire suppression, salvage and overhaul public service calls, emergency motor vehicle accidents - auto extraction, equipment transportation - hose, salvage equipment, auxiliary power supplies, and ventilation fans.

VFRS comments- Meets all operational needs for a temporary firehall.- As soon as vacated the temporary firehall it will immediately be removed and the park will be restored.

Pros - Community- All existing park trees remain; some lower limbs will need pruning.- Few residences impacted by headlights (note that overnight calls are less common in this fire district).

Cons - Community- Temporary Firehall interrupts existing paths.- Some exhaust fan noise behind the Truck Bay will be heard by residents behind the firehall - this is exhaust equipment that runs for 3-5 minutes after the firetruck leaves.- Some noise: twice a day, at the start of each shift, when the firetruck is driven onto the driveway and the equipment is checked through - approx 15 minutes.- Sirens average 4-5 times a day.- One boulevard tree will be removed temporarily to a nursery and replanted once the firehall is removed.- Two residences will see headlights (note that overnight calls are less common in this fire district).
