Gregory A. Kizer Annexation Area 7 C. Fire Department The Annexation Area will be serviced primarily by Station #11, located at 3505 N. Bendix Drive approximately one point six (1.6) miles away. Additional Fire Department units would respond from Fire Station #7 located at 1616 Portage Avenue which is approximately three point five (3.5) miles away. The South Bend Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire protection problems related to this annexation. Response times will be comparable to other areas of the City. No additional equipment will need to be purchased or personnel hired to service the Annexation Area. Adequate water supply will be necessary as development takes place. Distance from fire stations and response times will greatly improve when the new Fire Station #12 is constructed in the future.
