� � <br /> CMP Part 4F. Public Services Plan <br /> FIRE SERVICES <br /> Fire protection services in Orono are contracted with established Fire <br /> Departments in Wayzata; and Long Lake�4�tr�r�---��A�4����. These <br /> departments have geographically divided responsibility for protection of Orono <br /> neighborhoods as shown in Map 4F-1 (TO BE REVISED), with the majority of <br /> Orono being served bv the Lon� Lake Fire Denartment. <br /> Recent Changes <br /> As a result of the Highway 12 rerouting, the �g former Long Lake fire <br /> station adjacent to Brown Road North ����" '�� r�����*�a was eliminated. The City <br /> of Orono in 2001 joined with the City of Lon� in the <br /> process of locating a suitable site for �#e a new station, as well as in the design <br /> process. Orono and Long Lake shared a joint goal of providing a facility that �s <br /> would be properly located to ensure the necessary response times as well as to <br /> provide the level of service required by each of the cities within the Long Lake <br /> Fire Protection District. A site was chosen in Orono at 340 Willow Drive North <br /> and construction of the new Lon� Lake Fire Station was completed in earlv 2003 <br /> at which time it became operational. The site and buildin are jointiv owned bv <br /> the cities of Orono and Long Lake under the terms of a joint ownership contract <br /> As of Januarv 1, 2003 Orono incornorated the Maple Plain Fire Service District <br /> into the Lon� Lake Fire Service District with service to northwest Orono <br /> henceforth bein� provided bv the Lon� Lake Fire Department. <br /> Additionallv, in 2003 the City Council determined that due to the increasing <br /> costs of contractin� with the Citv of Mound for fire protection in southwest <br /> Orono, it would be more cost effective to incorporate the Mound Fire Service <br /> District into the Long Lake Fire Service District and construct and equip a new <br /> satellite fire station in the Navarre area. Fire protection service for southwest <br /> Orono was contracted with the Excelsior Fire Department durin� 2004-2006 as <br /> construction of the new Navarre Fire Station at 3770 Shoreline Drive was <br /> completed and new firefighter recruits were trained Operation of the station <br /> which is owned bv Orono, was commenced bv the Lon� Lake Fire Department <br /> in 2007. <br /> In 2008 the Citv of Lon� Lake hired its first full-time Fire Chief to mana�e <br /> operations of the Lon� Lake Fire Department and provide expertise in fire <br /> prevention, which mav result in the City of Orono reducing or eliminatin�a <br /> se�arate contract for Fire Marshal services. <br /> , <br /> Yrtau.i�� +t,o r�;*�, ��,�rt, ,.�;�o ' f;«o +• <br /> ..,., .. �.� cirpercr.Tciixz��Prc-vcrrcrorr. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 4F-7 <br />
