FROM: E. C. BROSS, ACTING FIRE CHIEF
SUBJECT: Fire Station Location, Equipping and Manning
In this study, we have utilized the reference sources listed in section Number I.
At the same time, we have endeavored to apply innovative thinking. It is still
important to realize that most decisions relating to fire prevention and control
service involve value judgments and cannot be based purely on established
~ methodology or criteria.
In the past, the location, manning and equipping of fire stations was primarily
dictated on the recommendations of the Insurance Services Office, formerly Kansas
Inspection Bureau, a private business organization set up by insurance companies.
This organization publishes a "Standard Grading Schedule" which specifies the
various factors which they consider important in determining the overall fire risk
of a city. The rating a city receives is one of the key factors in determining
insurance premiums; consequently, this has been a powerful force in determining the
level and distribution of manpower in a municipal fire department. Radial distance
of area served by each station has been an important factor in the ISO method of
grading.
In recent years, however, city administrators, faced with increasing budget, have
~ been asking if there are not better ways of determining the locations for fire
stations.

In December, 1971, H.U.D. awarded a contract to Public Technology, Inc. to improve
and broaden the station location computer model used in East Lansing, Michigan. A
.
set of user manuals was developed to be used as a guideline to cities in setting up
the computer program. Initial work was done with the city of Wichita, Kansas.
Mr. Harris, Mr. Rawlings, Jim Lacy and myself visited with Deputy Chief F. E. Hobbs
and Captain E. D. Ingle concerning the computer approach to station location. We
believe this method may have potential value for Salina and possibly should be given
consideration in future planning. Completion of this study was delayed for a
considerable time while we were waiting for P.T.I. to provide us with the computer
program in hopes we could use it. This probably would have resulted in a more re-
fined or sophisticated report. Their delay apparently was due to revisions being
made in preparation for printing. Eventually, time dictated that we do this study
without the computer program; however, we have followed pretty much the same approach.
The basic difference between this and conventional methods of determining station
:e locations is that the emphasis is placed on "response time" rather than "distance".
Response times are predicated on the following data and includes both reaction time
and driving time. Referring to Fire Protection Handbook (8-132 to 8-139) and July,
1973, issue of Fire Engineering (page 38 to 40) in regard to time and temperature
rate of fire growth, we find that national and international fire authorities have
established that fires in ordinary combustibles (wood, paper and cloth) follow a
more or less standard pattern, following ignition, of unit temperature rise per
unit time to the point of flashover. Flashover is the temperature in an area at
which combustibles give off vapors to the extent that they ignite spontaneously.
There is a broad range in flashover--4500 to 12000 depending upon material. In common
structures, this point can be reached in as little as eight minutes. In sprinklercd
buildings, temperatures high enough to activate the sprinkler alarm (1350- 1650 F) can
~ be reached in as little as 4 minutes. All UL approved automatic detection and
extinguishment devices are nearly fail proQf. These instruments offer the only
Page #3
assurance that a fire, in a building, will be detected in its incipient stage. The
~ following time-temperature chart t~en from the referenced issue of Fire Engineering
may lend assistance in arriving at an acceptable response time.

REFLEX TIME
It is desirable that the fire department reach the scene of a building fire before
the temperature has reached the point of flashover. Beyond this point, heat and
fire gases present a grave hazard to life.
Practical response time requirements also may vary according to type of occupancy.
High life hazard occupancies, such as hospitals or multi-storied nursing homes,
normally should be within three minutes of a fire station. Other commercial,
industrial and institutional buildings, generally not over three stories in height,
may be satisfactorily served if within four minutes of a fire station. Dwelling
structures, if within 5 minutes response time from the nearest fire station, should
4It receive an acceptable level of service. Response times'are affected by the avail-
able street network, street condition, traffic, physical obstruction, weather, etc.
Page #4
Maps and overlays have been prepared to show the primary response routes, times, etc.
e
See index of maps, section II.
~
This response time, while somewhat arbitrary, seems to be consistent with other
cities between 25,000 and 50,000 population in the central U.S., as indicated by
our survey of 16 cities in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa,
Colorado, North Dakota and Idaho. In the P.T.I. study, done in Wichita, a basic
response time of 4 minutes was used. A plus or minus time was applied to this base,
depending upon the occupancy under consideration.
Overlays to the city map have been prepared to show the 3, 4 and 5 minute response
zones in relation to each station. These exhibits indicate there are no areas of
serious deficiency in coverage. Commercial areas north of 1-70, Graves on West
Crawford and one school, Coronado, are slightly beyond the four minute coverage zone
but within the five minute coverage area. Due to the fact that these areas are just
~ ~mmediately beyond the four minute zone, and there have been relatively few emergency
calls during the past 4 years, the situation would not appear to warrant any modifi-
cation in our operation.
Response time limits were obtained by the Assistant Chief and Training Officer,
driving a car, using a stop watch and simulating, to the best of their ability, the
travel of the first due apparatus. Other information was supplied by fire companies
on simulated runs to certain key intersections. Trial runs were made under good
weather and street conditions. The results of these simulated runs are believed
to be conservative and should be viewed as averages. They include a 30-second
reaction time. Since January 1, 1974, arrival time has been made a part of each
fire report to provide a long-range check under varying conditions.
Response level is another factor which has been considered and is defined as the
tit number and type of fire apparatus responding to an emergency. This is governed by
available fire apparatus, station location, type of emergency, available manning,
area and type of occupancy.

Page #5
Initial response to hospitals consists of two engines and one ladder from station
~ No.1, and one engine from station ~o. 2. All four companies are within three
minutes of Asbury, and the three headquarters companies are within three minutes of
St. Johns. The same four companies respond to all large or congested commercial,
institutional and industrial structures in the station No. 1 area. Normal response
to these occupancies in sub-station areas consists of the engine stationed in the
area plus one engine and one ladder from Station No.1. Exceptions to this procedure
are the airport industrial area and commercial buildings south of Crawford and east
of UP RR where stations No. 2 and No. 4 provide the respective engine back-up with
ladder back-up from Station No.1. Initial response, as well as second and third
alarm assignments, special notification of Water Department, Ambulance Service, etc.
is included on assignment cards for every structure in the above categories in the
city. Also considered, in the overall fire protection plan, is the system of
relocating companies and utilizing off-shift call-back to cover and maintain
protection when two or more pumpers make hydrant hook-up.
e
We have given considerable thought to the commercial areas mentioned earlier which
are beyond the four minute response zone and also to the entire portion of the city
situated north of the main RR tracks. In order to review the past demand and
estimate future demand, we have prepared four map exhibits, one for each year 1970
thru 1973. The exhibits have been color coded to indicate the location:
(A) of
fires in buildings, (B) fires not in buildings and (C) non-fire emergencies.
For ease of identification, the two areas of primary concern, north of the RR and
south of Magnolia, will hereafter be referred to as Area "A" and Area "B" respectively.
Please refer to Sections III and IV respectively for the results of our research,
alternatives for fire protection and recommendations concerning these two areas.
_ In developing this report, we have had to delve into many areas of local, state and
national fire protection concerns. We have been able to draw some conclusions and
Page #6
believe that certain recommendations are in order. These recommendations do not
~ necessarily appear in order of priority.
A master plan for fire prevention and control, defining private and public sector
responsibilities, should be developed for the City of Salina. We hope this study
is the initial step in development of such a plan. This plan should be aimed at
fire loss management rather than react to new problems by continually attempting to
expand firefighting capabilities. The private sector protection should consist of
fire-resistive design of structures and materials, as well as fire extinguishing,
warning and detection systems. This private protection would serve to limit the
demand for public protection service. Adoption of a Uniform Building Code Package
to include a Fire Code compatible with the Uniform Building Code would be a step in
the right direction. On January 7, 1974, the City Commission, acting on the
recommendation of the Building Code Advisory Board, adopted the 1973 Edition of the
~ ~niform Building Code but deleted Section 1413 thereof, which would have required
detection devices in dwellings. This deletion, in our opinion, was a mistake; and
we would encourage the BCAB and city Commission. to reconsider this action.
Approximately 50% of fatal fires occur in the home. Public sector responsibility
should include necessary ordinances, routine structure design review, code enforce-
ment procedure, inspection and maintenance programs to assure reliability of
built-in protection and a "normal fire fighting capability".
In Section VI, the fire fighting force (manning per 1,000 population) is given for
the years 1957, 1966, 1970 and 1973. The 1973 figure for Salina is 1.94. The
average for the cities polled is 1.5, and the national average is 1.6. The national
average would seem to be the basis for establishing a "normal" or realistic figure.
Data accumulated over the past four years indicates a possible imbalance in incident
responsibility and work load between the four existing fire stations. However, at
-
this point, we do not see any serious inequities. This situation does deserve
continuing consideration and planning.
Page #7
The objective of the public fire protection service should be to maintain an
4It adequately trained and equipped on-puty force capable of handling most emergency
situations. Natural disaster, explosion or delayed alarm will cause emergency
situations which exceed the capabilities of this on-duty force. Since the community
simply cannot afford to have an on-duty force large enough to handle t~e very
infrequent major fires or other disasters,an acceptable level of risk must be
established. This calls for a decision on the part of the community, through their
elected representatives to determine what that acceptable level of risk is to be.
A very responsive and capable reserve force is a vital part of the fire control
service. At the present time, the on-coming shift has primary responsibility to
be available for call-back. Call-back is facilitated by activation of radio
receivers in the home of every member of the force.
As operating costs continue to rise and more demands are placed on the fire
e
protection service, it would appear that we can and should rely more on the off-
duty reserve force. It is encumbent upon all in the fire service, particularly
those of us in supervisory and management positions, to continually look for ways
to provide the community with a high level of fire protection at a reasonable cost.
The financial resources of the community cannot be expected to withstand adding
personnel to the payroll if there are ways of better utilizing the present force,
while at the same time fairly compensating those in the service.

DEFINITIONS
(A) Response Time is the time it takes a fire apparatus to reach the emergency
scene from a fire station upon receipt of an alarm. For the purpose of this study,
response times include an average of 30 seconds reaction time and a driving time
calculated at driving approximately 10 miles per hour over the posted speed limit.
Driving time will vary in areas which are the same distance from a fire station due
__ to traffic congestion encountered, routing requ.ired and access to an area; therefore,
distance alone is no longer valid.
SECTION I
Page #2
Our recent survey of 16 cities with an average pop.ulation 38,257 indicated an
4It average response time of 3.5 to 4.06 minutes. They range from 2 to 5 minutes for
residential and I to 5 minutes for commercial. One city indicated 5 minutes as .
an acceptable response time for all types of occupancy.
(B) Response Level is the number and type of fire apparatus responding to the
scene of an emergency. This is governed by the individual communities characteristics,
needs and financial capability.
(C) Back-up is assistance provided by one station to another in order to bring the
initial response up to the advisable level.
(0) Relocation is movement of apparatus to cover for stations emptied to answer an
emergency alarm in their area or to provide back-up assistance to another station.

ALTERNATIVES FOR COVERAGE NORTH OF.' RAILROAD TRACKS
.
1.
Continue present system of radio communication between fire truck, police cars
and communication center to determine alternate routes (15 sec. to 1 min. delay),
mindful of the fact that on only four occasions were the trucks delayed on fire
alarms during 1973. Information on each of the incidents is included in this
section. The Bucher-Willis C.R.P. report, on page 37,. states that trains have
not been a significant factor over the past years. However, the department, up
until 1973, did not keep specific records of these incidents.
2. Establish a standard response procedure of always sending one of the two or more
trucks on the assignment via the Broadway route to assure at least one units
-
in the C.R.P. report, Page 32. No cost estimate available at this time.
I
i
arrival will not be affected by trains. This procedure will expose more traffic
to the hazard of emergency vehicle movement.
3. Consider an overpass on 9 Street, for overall traffic improvement as suggested
4. Build, equip and man a station north of the RR tracks. The east side of Thomas
Park would be a possible location. . (Map included in this section.)

STRUCTURAL STATISTICS
North of R. R. Tracks
.
In considering fire protection requirements north of the main railroad tracks,
it is interesting to note some of the comments concerning this area in the
Community Renewal Program report.
.The C.R.P~ area, designated neighborhood 4, which is bounded by the railroad tracks
on the south, City Limits qn the west, Front Street on the east and the Flood
Contrql Dike north, represents a large portion of the built up area under consider-
ation. In this area, there is a reported population of 3,112 (8.4% of total),
1,043 (8.8% of total) residential structures on 177.9 acres and 202 (15% of total)
commercial, industrial and public structures.on 117.9 acres. Total for the city is
reported as 11,854 residential structures and 1,292 commercial, industrial and
public-semi-public structures.
(C.R.P., pages 14,'15,16).
Portions of neighborhoods 1, 2, 3 and 5, within the City Limits and north of the
railroad have a reported population of 107 and an area in acres of 37.5 residential
and 102.9 non-residential.

SECTION IV
ALTERNATIVES FOR FIRE PROTECTION TO SOUTH & SOUTHEAST SALINA
e
At the present time one school, Coronado, is just outside the nonnal four minute
response area. All present residential properties are within the nonnal five
minute area. Emergency runs by the fire department to south of Magnolia and east
of 1-35 for 1970 thru 1973 totaled 8, 9, 21 and 17 respectively. The proposed
land use study indicates future growth to the south and east can be expected.
Coverage appears to be adequate at this time. However, in our opinion, the
alternatives listed below in order of preference, warrant serious consideration
and continued study. The anticip~ted growth will eventually require the expansion
of fire protection service.
-
Alternative #1
Consolidate Stations #2 and' #3 into one new building located in the area of 9 Street
and Magnolia, to house two engine companies and one aerial company. This would
pennit independent first alarm assignment by this station, as well as a more
desirable training and fire prevention capability. This alternative would have
the disadvantages listed in #2 and #3.
Alternative #2
------"
Move Station #3 to vicinity of Schilling and Centennial or Schilling and 9 Street to
provide coverage for future growth south of the present City Limits. This would
improve response to Schilling Manor but would increase the runway response time by
approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
j
Al ternative tl3
.~
e
Replace Fire Station #2 with a new station in the vicinity of Belmont and Magnolia.
This could increase the area of coverage to the south and include the area considered
in the projected growth study. A disadvantage to be considered would be the cur-
tailment of back-up response by Station #2 to the enD and hospitals.
~
Page #2
Alternative #4
tit Construct the 5th fire station in ~e vicinity of South senior High School. This
would serve a 5 minute response radius and supplement response level to existing
Stations #2 and #3.

Our assignment was to determine the need for additional fire stations, equipment
and manning.
As we have outlined in this study" the need for expansion does not exist at this
time. However, we do have three borderline areas mentioned in the report which
will be pointed out later on the map. Future growth in those areas will dictate
necessary changes in fire protection coverage.
Concern has frequently been expressed about the railroads interferring with fire
protection to north Salina. This situation is not unique to our town. The main
RR does offer a physical obstruction; but since January 1, 1973, we have been
briefly detained on only four occasions--all outlined in the report--none of the
four calls were of a serious nature. The last incident occurred in June, 1973. To
my knowledge, no formal record was kept prior to January 1, 1973. However, the F.D.
staff does not feel the RR presents a significant obstruction since we have alter-
"
. n _ .+- ~
na~ routes on 12 Street, 9 Street, Santa Fe, Ohio, Chicago and Broadway. The
incident rate north of the RR does not, in our opinion, warrant an additional station.
All the reference material we have read indicates we are justified in basing effect-
iveness on past experiences.
Also as you will see by our map
additional station in southeast
exhibits, we cannot justify the need for an
J-t.rilv- ~ '
SalinaA The rate of growth in population and tax
base will determine when additional fire protection is needed in this area.
