7756 <br />The City of Santa Ana and the City of Orange currently have a <br />reciprocal automatic aid agreement whereby each city would respond to a <br />fire in the other city, if called to respond.* <br />i <br />In addition to required on -site fire protection facilities, <br />Fashion Square Shopping Center has a privately owned 200,000 gallon <br />i underground water reservoir with auxiliary pumps that provides a back-up <br />supply of water for fire protection of Fashion Square. <br />5.13,8.2 Project Impact <br />li <br />The proposed project will result in increased demand on City <br />( fire suppression services. Due to the increased intensity of <br />development on the subject site, more fire department men and equipment <br />will be required to respond to any reported structure fire on the Site, <br />on a first alarm response, than are now required for such responses. <br />Specifically, it is estimated that, upon maximum development, one Engine <br />Company, one Truck Company and one Battalion Chief would have to be <br />}} added to the current standard first response assignment. <br />l.! <br />It is possible that this increased first response assignment <br />would require the City to provide an additional Engine Company in the <br />1 area now serviced by Fire Station q1 in order to maintain an adequate <br />level of fire emergency services. However, in the absence of actual <br />experience with the area upon completion of the proposed project, such a <br />need is quite speculative. <br />The proposed project, particularly the proposed hotel, will <br />also increase demand for paramedic services. Again, it will require <br />actual experience with the project upon completion to determine whether <br />j the City will be able to maintain an adequate level of paramedic service <br />with its present City-wide complement of four Paramedic Units. On the <br />other hand, the project upon completion will generate Significant tax <br />revenues available to the City to provide for expanded fire and <br />paramedic services if the City Council determines such use of these <br />revenues to be appropriate, <br />75D-"9 <br />
