Posted March 28 (edited) I don't see them getting two stations, though that might be nice. Maybe only one station. I like the idea in north Santee, off Magnolia. I know with the Rancho Fanita development, I thought they were slated to get another station towards the west end of Santee. Not sure. So Santee has fs's 4 + 5. 4's runs an engine, a truck, and recently I am seeing a squad. Not sure if the new 4x4 patrol will be at 4's or 5's. Probably makes sense out of 5's as 4's has a newer type-3 brush rig (Brush-4). Plus 5's runs a fair amount of rescues for the Mission Trails area, and the 4x4 would be a good resource. Fs5 runs two pumpers out of the house, E5 and E205. Though I like traditional RED color rigs, I like the Santee tradition of YELLOW. The rigs at fs4 are RED now. Getting new stations are a huge commitment. They need rigs for them, and personnel running 24/7/365. Lots of $$$. ~Rescue51 https://www.eastcountymagazine.org/recent-fire-deaths-heighten-calls-fire-protection-ballot-measure-santee Edited March 28 by Rescue51 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
