The City of Santa Ana and the City of Orange currently have a reciprocal automatic aid agreement whereby each city would respond to a fire in the other city, if called to respond.* - In addition to required on-site fire protection facilities, k Fashion Square Shopping Center has a privately owned 200,000 gallon underground water reservoir with auxiliary pumps that provides a back-up supply of water for fire protection of Fashion Square. Is 5.13.8.2 Project Impact Is The proposed project will result in increased demand on City F fire suppression services. Due to the increased intensity of development on the subject site, more fire department men and equipment V will be required to respond to any reported structure fire on the Hte, on a first alarm response, than are now required for such responses. Specifically, it is estimated that, upon maximum development, one Engine ii Company, one Truck Company and one Battalion Chief would have to be added to the current standard first response assignment. Ii It is possible that this increased first response assignment would require the City to provide an additional Engine Company in the area now serviced by Fire Station #1 in order to maintain an adequate I- level of fire emergency services. However, in the absence of actual experience with the area upon completion of the proposed project, such a L need is quite speculative. The proposed project, particularly the proposed hotel, will also increase demand for paramedic services. Again, it will require actual experience with the project upon completion to determine whether the City will be able to maintain an adequate level of paramedic service with its present City-wide complement of four Paramedic Units. On the other hand, the project upon completion will generate significant tax revenues available to the City to provide for expanded fire and paramedic services if the City Council determines such use of these revenues to be appropriate.
