The nearest fire station to the project site is the Santa Ana Fire Department located at 1439 South Broadway Street, approximately 4 miles southeast of the project site.

No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures would be necessary. C. Schools No Impact. The project area contains three schools; Russell Elementary, Hazard Elementary, and Newhope Elementary, that serve local residents. Implementation of the project is not expected to generate any new students that would impact schools services provided by the Santa Ana Unified School District and no new 1 schools would be required.
