Emergency Services--Fire and Police <br /> (a) Fire protection. City fire protection is provided by the Everett Fire Department. Mutual aid <br /> agreements also exist with neighborhood jurisdictions and special districts. The Department <br /> currently maintains seven stations throughout the city, and a Headquarters building with facility <br /> support shop and an emergency vehicle certified maintenance shop. <br /> A variety of resources are housed within each of the seven stations, depending on demonstrated <br /> need. These include fire engines, ladder trucks, fire fighters, Medic Units, Aid Cars, and Battalion <br /> Chief vehicles. The four-minute response time goal is met by the appropriate distribution of these <br /> resources. <br /> Ambulance services are provided by two sources: (1) private companies are contracted to transport <br /> victims for non-emergency needs, and (2)the City maintains basic life support and advanced life <br /> support ambulances within its own fleet for emergency situations. The City's hazardous materials <br /> van and emergency management response truck are also under the jurisdiction of the Fire <br /> Department. <br /> The Everett Fire Department undergoes an annual review and analysis for evaluation of its current <br /> and future (20-50 years) operations. Decisions regarding transfer of equipment and personnel or <br /> possible expansion of facilities are based on these analyses. <br /> Snohomish County Airport Fire Units, Fire District 1, and Fire District 4 provide fire service in the <br /> south unincorporated portions of the Planning Area. The Smith/Spencer Island unincorporated area <br /> does not have fire/emergency services. <br /> (i) Inventory and location. See Figure 1. <br /> CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT 15 <br />
