DEVELOPMENT, POPULATION, AND DEMAND REVIEWED THE EXPECTED DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE CHANGES EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 25 YEARS TWO KEY SIGNIFICANT GROWTH CENTERS: SOUTH INTERNATIONAL DRIVE UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA (UCF) AND ASSOCIATED CENTRAL FLORIDA RESEARCH PARK. ALREADY APPROVED DEVELOPMENT WILL INCREASE POPULATION AND EMERGENCY SERVICE DEMAND: HORIZON WEST (20,704 ACRES - TOWN CENTER AND FIVE VILLAGES) INNOVATION WAY (APPROVALS FOR 10,811 RESIDENTIAL UNITS, 28.2 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL, OFFICE, AND HIGH- TECH USES)
POPULATION GROWTH POPULATION INCREASES WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE DEMAND FOR OCFRD SERVICES NEXT 25 YEARS, INCREASE IN COUNTY BY 500,000 RESIDENTS; 400,000 ARE EXPECTED TO RESIDE IN UNINCORPORATED AREAS SERVICED BY OCFRD AREAS WITH THE HIGHEST POPULATION DENSITY AND DEMAND: PINE HILLS, GOLDENROD, UCF, CONWAY, AND VALENCIA COLLEGE PINE CASTLE/ TAFT/ OAK RIDGE, HUNTER S CREEK, MEADOW WOODS, EDGEWATER, AND NORTHWEST ORANGE/ TANGERINE ALSO WITH ALREADY METROPOLITAN DENSITIES

POPULATION GROWTH
DEMAND OCFRD RESPONDS TO OVER 100,000 CALLS FOR SERVICE PER YEAR; SEVEN OUT OF EVERY TEN CALLS IS A MEDICAL CALL OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS (2010-2013), MEDICAL CALLS ALONE INCREASED BY 40 PERCENT, FROM 45,014 TO 66,055 CALLS ANNUAL DEMAND IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY BY 2025 WITH A MIDRANGE ESTIMATE OF 177,000 CALLS PER YEAR (INCREASE OF 76,000 CALLS) IF POPULATION GROWTH ESTIMATES HOLD TRUE, CALLS PER YEAR COULD APPROACH 194,000 THE INCREASE IN DEMAND WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT RESPONSE TIMES, WHICH ARE ALREADY LONG, ESPECIALLY IN METROPOLITAN AREAS, IF NO NEW STATIONS ARE ADDED

EAST ORANGE COUNTY THE NORTHEASTERN PORTION HAS THE MOST URBAN POPULATION DENSITIES. POOR FIRE STATION COVERAGE WITHOUT NEW DEVELOPMENT AREAS OF CONCERN: UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD AND NORTH DEAN ROAD SOUTH AVALON PARK BOULEVARD CYPRESS SPRINGS AND ANDOVER LAKES STARWOOD DRI (DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT)

PROPOSED STATION 67 Travel Time Performance for Stations 66, 80, and 83 Improve by 29 Seconds or 5% Unit Availability Increases by 11%
SOUTHWEST ORANGE COUNTY EXPERIENCING PARTICULARLY HIGH DEVELOPMENT HORIZON WEST AREA AND ALONG THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE COUNTY BORDERING OSCEOLA COUNTY. COVERAGE CONCERNS MORE LONG TERM AS DEVELOPMENT AND POPULATION INCREASE TRANSITION FROM RURAL TO SUBURBAN AND URBAN TO METROPOLITAN. AREAS OF PARTICULAR CONCERN: HORIZON WEST ESTATES AT PHILLIPS LANDING AND SAND LAKE COVE INTERNATIONAL DRIVE SOUTH SOUTH OF WEST TOWN CENTER BOULEVARD AND WEST OF TURNPIKE WYNDHAM LAKES/ BEACON PARK
SOUTHWEST ORANGE COUNTY
NORTHWEST ORANGE COUNTY Coverage Is Generally Good Two Areas With Metropolitan Designated Population Should Be Addressed: Northern Portion Of Pine Hills, Particularly Areas Along Clarcona Ocoee Road Between Apopka-vineland Road And North Pine Hills Road Areas Around The Intersection Of Hiawassee Road And Balboa Drive Coverage (And Efficiency) For The Northwestern Region Can Also Be Improved By Expanding Automatic Mutual Aid, Especially With Apopka, Maitland, And Orlando
Northwest Orange County
RECOMMENDATIONS (2015 TO 2020) THREE NEW FIRE STATIONS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. APPROXIMATE LOCATIONS ARE: NORTH DEAN ROAD & WINDER TRAIL (UCF) AVALON PARK SOUTH BOULEVARD (EAST ORANGE/ DESERET RANCH) SOUTH GOLDENROD ROAD & LAKE UNDERHILL ROAD (BORDER BETWEEN VALENCIA COLLEGE AND GOLDENROD)
RECOMMENDATIONS (2020 TO 2025) BETWEEN 2020 AND 2025, THE FOLLOWING STATIONS SHOULD BE ADDED OR RELOCATED: NORTH ALAFAYA TRAIL & RESEARCH PARKWAY (UCF) SUMMERLAKE BOULEVARD & FICQUETTE ROAD (HORIZON WEST) DARYL CARTER PARKWAY NEAR PALM PARKWAY (I-DRIVE/ DR. PHILIPS/ WILLIAMSBURG) RELOCATE STATION 30 TO WEST COLONIAL DRIVE & NORTH HIAWASSEE ROAD
RECOMMENDATIONS (2025 AND BEYOND) THE FOLLOWING STATIONS SHOULD BE ADDED, RELOCATED OR CONSOLIDATED, IN THE LONG TERM. RELOCATE STATION 71 TO SOUTH GOLDENROD ROAD & PERSHING AVENUE (VALENCIA COLLEGE) NEW STATION NEAR AVALON ROAD & HORIZON BOULEVARD (HORIZON WEST) NEW STATION NEAR AVALON ROAD & SEIDEL ROAD (HORIZON WEST) RELOCATE STATION 32 TO AVALON ROAD AND HARTZOG ROAD (HORIZON WEST)
RECOMMENDATIONS (2025 AND BEYOND) Relocate Station 52 to Mandarin Drive Extension & Kirkman Road Extension (I-Drive/ Dr. Philips/ Williamsburg) New station near Boggy Creek (Hunter s Creek/ Meadow Woods) Relocate Station 36 to Winter Garden-Vineland Road & Equestrian Drive (Horizon West) Consolidate Stations 42 and 43 to a site near North Hiawassee Road & Silver Star Road (Pine Hills)
FIRE STATION RECOMMENDATIONS 49 FIRE STATIONS AFTER 2025, AN INCREASE OF 8 OVER THE CURRENT 41, IF ALL RECOMMENDATIONS ARE IMPLEMENTED. THE TIMING TO ADD STATIONS WILL DEPEND ON DEVELOPMENT AND POPULATION CHANGES. AS CHANGES OCCUR (FASTER OR SLOWER) CIRCUMSTANCES WILL LIKELY NECESSITATE CHANGES TO THE DEPLOYMENT PLAN, ESPECIALLY THOSE FOR 2025 AND BEYOND.
TRANSPORT UNIT RECOMMENDATIONS OVER 70% OF INCIDENTS ARE MEDICAL CALLS NINE ORANGE COUNTY FIRE STATIONS ( 22%) DO NOT HAVE ANY 24 HOUR RESCUE UNITS. ADD TWO MEDIC UNITS TO IMPROVE RELIABILITY AND RESPONSE TIMES BASED ON DEMAND ADD RESCUES TO EXISTING AND ALL FUTURE FIRE STATIONS.
Presentation Overview Background Scope of the Study Study Methodology Study Components Summary Questions
Summary THE EXPECTED INCREASE IN CALL VOLUME OVER THE NEXT 5 TO 10 YEARS IS IMPORTANT TO THE CONSIDERATION OF NEW FIRE STATIONS. RESPONSE TRAVEL TIMES ARE ALREADY LONG AND OCFRD IS UNABLE TO MEET ACCEPTED STANDARDS OF RESPONSE. WITH EACH ANNUAL INCREASE IN DEMAND, STATION WORKLOADS WILL INCREASE AND UNITS WILL BE AVAILABLE LESS OF THE TIME. RESPONSE TIMES WILL INCREASE EVEN MORE BECAUSE A UNIT FARTHER AWAY MUST HANDLE THE CALL.
STATIONS Recommendation Summary IMMEDIATE 1 STATION (DEAN AND WINDER) INCREASE REGIONAL COOPERATION 2015-2020 3 STATIONS (DEAN & WINDER, AVALON PARK SOUTH BLVD, AND GOLDENROD & LAKE UNDERHILL) RELOCATE STATION 30 (WEST COLONIAL & HIAWASSEE)
Summary 2020-2025 3 STATIONS (SUMMER LAKE & FICQUETTE, PALM PARKWAY & DARYL CARTER, AND ALAFAYA TRAIL & RESEARCH PARKWAY ) 2025 AND BEYOND 3 STATIONS (AVALON & HORIZON, AVALON & SEIDEL, AND BOGGY CREEK) CONSOLIDATE STATIONS 42 AND 43 RELOCATE STATIONS 32, 36, 52, AND 71
Summary TRANSPORT UNIT RECOMMENDATION ADD TRANSPORT UNITS TO STATIONS 32, 33, 35, 37, 56, 57, 73, 77, AND 86 ADD TWO MEDIC UNITS IMMEDIATELY
