Poor Response Times Ahead Jul 10, 2017 - 8:17 am

Since there are now over 600 homes in Cypress Lakes, why is there not a brand new fire station built and paid by the developer as part of the conditions of the development? The station should be ready now. Why isn’t it even built?

Even if you have developers build a new station for an area you have to have the money to staff it. They can’t staff the stations they have already. So you would have a nice new empty fire station.
