DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA <br /> <br />Matrix Consulting Group Page 79 <br /> <br /> <br />The northeast corner of the City and a large area in the east central section of the City <br />are outside of the ten-minute travel time area. As well the majority of the call volume is in <br />the northeast section of the City. Using this configuration would likely decrease the leve l <br />of service. <br /> <br />With the amount of time that will likely be needed to plan and construct a new fire station, <br />continued use of the existing facilities, Hamel and Loretto, would be in the best interest <br />of the northern sections of the City. While the two stations are not suitable for any major <br />renovations, they can continue to be used until such time as a new facility can be <br />constructed. <br /> <br />In terms of apparatus, the City already has a shared ownership with the Hamel Fire <br />Department as noted previously. As well, Hamel Fire Department has previously indicated <br />a willingness to transfer the assets to the City of Medina if a municipal fire department <br />were formed. <br /> <br />The table that follows provides a listing of all the apparatus and the ownership of the <br />apparatus currently providing services to the City of Medina.
