, , <br /> CMP Part-1F. Public Services Plan <br /> Fire Service Goals <br /> 1. To encourage fire prevention �ractices. <br /> 2. To provide fire protection and fire suppression ser-vices. <br /> 3. To provide reasonable levels of totat fire services within the financial <br /> capabilities of the City and its citizens. <br /> Fire Service Policies <br /> In order to achieve reasonable le��els of fire protection for Orono citizens, the <br /> City expects to provide and administer fire services according to the following <br /> policies; <br /> 1. Fire prevention is the �rst step toward reciuction in fire loss <br /> damages. The City has adopted and will enforce the State Fire Code <br /> (which incorporates the provisions of the National Fire Protection <br /> Association Code) as a reasonable standard for the safeguardin� of life <br /> and property throligh the reduction and elimination of potential fire <br /> hazards. Land use planninD w�ill respect the relative difficulty in fire <br /> suppression involved with use and occupancy types, combustible hazards, <br /> property setbacks, fire response distance and w�ater supply. <br /> 2. A basic level of fire protection services will be provided consistent <br /> with land use type and density. Urban areas will be expected to require <br /> more frequent fire services and more extensive fire services than that <br /> necessary in rural areas. Fire protection levels will be expected to be <br /> higher where municipal water is available than where water supplies must <br /> be transported to the scei�e. This relationship works two ways in that fire <br /> protection levels must be increased where land use density is higher, and <br /> land use density must not be increased where fire protection levels are <br /> less adequate. A map depicting the areas where municipal water supply is <br /> available appears in CMP Part 4D. <br /> 3. Fire protection districts will be established according to department <br /> capability and geographic relationship to response time. The Fire <br /> Protection Districts shown on Map 4F-1 are intended to provide <br /> reasonable response times to all areas of the City. The detailed division <br /> lines between these districts will be periodically reviewed to ensure <br /> continued relationship to new developments as they may occur, and <br /> continued equity insofar as response capability is concerned. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page -�F-8 <br />
