Nothing at all. Its been a hot topic in the town between the firefighters and the town council, ever since the idea of a new station was discussed in the late 90s. I totally agree that it is dangerous for the public; the towns choice of using reverse 911 to contact everyone in an emergency isnt the best way to alert the public. Furthermore over the years multiple new hotels have gone up, and Tornadoes in my area generally form between May and Oct, basically the big tourism season. So my question is, how do you alert the public, I'm guessing they'll have the police out telling everyone that there is a threat. Also most mobile service providers do have an alert system. But I still go back to the fact that a Siren is still the best way to alert the public to a major emergency.
I also agree its a bad idea to have all apparatus stored in one location. Our HQ is right in the middle of town, houses our two Main Engines, our Tower, Brush truck, Rescue, water rescue trailer, hazmat trailer and a tahoe we use for medicals (in June it will house two towers). it is not staffed, only the Chief is full time, so I wouldn't be worried about anyone being there for the most part. We do have a sub station on the otherside of town in a valley between two Mtns, houses our Rescue and two Engines, one of them a backup.
