Air Horn Levels, Emergency Response Time, Water and Architectural Aesthetics were the topic du jour on Tuesday when City Planners deliberated on a new Fire Station earmarked for Dixon’s Southwest Area.
The presentation for Station 82 by Fire Chief Todd McNeal, with expert assistance from the Consultants, was certainly chock-full of good information for the project to move on to the next stage.
The hour-long deliberation started with information by the Fire Chief that approval for the project was now more important than ever with the rapid increase of development, and no forecast of slowing down in the city’s south west nexus (Corner of Pitt School Rd/Lavender Lane.)
It is imperative that the City begin the design process to maintain response times and provide emergency services to the growing community. Additionally, in order to be prepared for possible state and federal funding, design of Fire Station 82, planners were informed.
A journalist who lives in that neck of the woods said she spoke for residents who expressed concerns about sirens becoming a nuisance when Fire Station 82 is launched. The Fire Chief assured Deborah (Independent Voice Editor) that discretion will be used on the decibel level of sirens especially at night.
“It will be the company officer’s discretion on how much siren to use, especially at night time. We do not need to be riding the apron all the way through Stop Signals,” he said, and added “ With a Large Apparatus assume at 2 AM on a Sunday Morning the Company Officer Does Not Step On The Air Horn Needlessly.”
The Fire Chief Informed Planners that Fire Station 82 is designed in a pull-through configuration to accommodate 4 pieces of fire apparatus. It will be approximately 8,000 square-feet, all in one story.
Four dorm style accommodations, two shower spaces, a kitchen and other living areas are included. Also included are a small office space, a public lobby, a fitness room, and five apparatus bays with associated utility spaces. The design is intended to “fit” as well as possible into the surrounding neighborhood. At this time, we only have very preliminary schematics to share including a schematic site plan, he said.
The same presentation will be given at the next Transportation Advisory Committee and Parks and Recreation Commission sessions as the first steps in a long drawn out process.
At the end of the presentation Jack Caldwell, Planning Commission Chair effuseively thanked Fire Chief Todd McNeal.
“Appreciate your presentation and what you do for us,” said Jack Caldwell.

A presentation I made at a Dixon City Council meeting was pivotal in a unanimous city council decision to install two metal beams from the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York at the Dixon Fire Department (in 2011) in honor of 9/11 victims that incude a relative Sadie Ette, and her Parents Professor Sunday Itauma Ette and My Aunty Ekaette Ette who died in a New York Hospital in 2007 from Sepsis Shock soon after a visit by the ex-wife. Deborah in the company of former Council Member Steve Alexander attended this ceremony.
