Lafayette Falls Extension Annexation Area 8 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />C. Fire Department & EMS <br /> <br />Fire Response – The South Bend Fire Department provides a fully staffed, full-time fire <br />department. The Annexation Area will be serviced primarily by Fire Station #10 at 5303 S <br />York Road, which is approximately 3.6 miles away. Additional Fire Department units would <br />respond from Fire Station #1, located at 1222 S. Michigan Street, approximately 4.8 miles <br />away, or Fire Station #5, located at 2221 Prairie Avenue, approximately 4.5 miles away. <br /> <br />The South Bend Fire Department notes that the response time will be approximately 10 <br />minutes, above the required response time standard set forth in NFPA 1710 of 4 minutes. <br />Extensive response times could be addressed by an agreement to utilize automatic aid from <br />fire stations closer to the annexation area, by establishing a metro fire department and <br />absorbing smaller departments into South Bend, or by constructing a new fire station. Fire <br />coverage to this area could begin immediately upon annexation. Adequate water supply will <br />be necessary as any development takes place. <br /> <br />Emergency Medical Response – The City will provide emergency medical response to the <br />Annexation Area.
