What is the minimum number of fire stations that PBCFR aims to maintain?

The minimum number of fire stations that PBCFR aims to maintain is based on the organizational goal to ensure adequate response times and coverage for the community it serves. Fire stations need to be strategically located to effectively respond to emergencies across different areas.

By establishing a minimum of 49 fire stations, PBCFR aims to provide sufficient resources to handle a variety of emergencies, reduce response times, and enhance community safety. This number represents a commitment to maintaining a robust infrastructure dedicated to public safety and meeting the needs of a growing population.

Other options, though they suggest a range of fire stations, do not meet the established target that supports operational and readiness standards. The decision to set the number at 49 reflects careful planning and an assessment of service needs within the community.
