SOUTH BEND FIRE DEPARTMENT <br />701 W. Sample Street <br />South Bend, Indiana 46621 <br />Oscar J. Van Wiele <br />Fire Chief <br />����OLUT /D4/�ic <br />CITY of SOUTH BEND Z <br />PETER J. NEMETH, Mayor L LU <br />z <br />ct- <br />COUNTY-CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br />Members of the Common Council <br />City of South Bend <br />County -City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Dear Council Members: <br />June 21, 1977 <br />INDIANA <br />219/284 -9255 <br />This letter is in conjunction with the Fire Department's request <br />of funds under the Community Development Fund Ordinance #CD -77 -605; <br />site acquisition, fire station construction and fire ladder <br />truck purchase. The request is for $360,000. All funds will be <br />used solely for the above mentioned projects. <br />After a complete study by the Fire Department of the fire coverage <br />in the area abounded by the City limits on the West, the Penn <br />Central railroad on the North, the Grand Trunk railroad on <br />the South and Walnut Street on the East; it is our firm belief <br />that a new two -bay fire station be built in the vicinity of <br />Western Avenue and Lake Street. Equipped with a new Ladder Truck <br />and an existing pumper, this would greatly improve the fire <br />coverage in this area. <br />Under the proposal, Eire Station #6 at Western Avenue and Gladstone <br />Street would be closed. The pumper that is stationed there would <br />then be moved to the new station, which will be more centrally <br />locat6d in the coverage area. <br />Sincerely, % 3 <br />Oscar Van Wiele <br />Fire Chief <br />South Bend Fire Department <br />OJvW/vm <br />
