Cypress Pointe Fire and Rescue is planning for a fourth fire station to serve an under served region, reports The Pilot.
Once the new station is built that the area would be moved to Class 4 and insurance premiums will drop.
For funding, fire officials have presented increasing the county’s fire tax rate, which had been planned to increase incrementally over the last five years but has plateaued the last three years. Some funds for the new station have already been placed aside by Cypress Pointe in preparation for constructing the facility.
The land for the new fire station sits now as 4.3 acres of wooded property. A conceptual design has a fire station with three bays for fire trucks and equipment, as well as space for the county EMS to put one truck and house full-time EMS personnel.
Staffing the new station would depend on the call volume. The project still is in the design phase before a groundbreaking expected for this summer.
