NEWEST INITIATIVES

Support the land acquisition of Station 52

Support the land acquisition of Station 52

 This property acquisition will allow the Lake Magdalene Fire Station #52 to be built to modern standards, providing adequate room for fire trucks to enter and exit the station in a safe, time sensitive way, and ensure optimal health and safety measures for the fire fighters.

The new station will reduce response times to residents in the Lake Magdalene community and nearby communities. In 2022, firefighters responded to over 6,000 calls in the Lake Magdalene area.

The area represented in the red oval is the coverage area that Station 52 will service. The purple dots in the red oval represent residents that are outside the optimal 5-minute “TRAVEL“ response time for a fire suppression response.

With the addition of this station the community will be better served and it can have the affect of lowering ISO ratings, which can lower home insurance premiums.


Support the land acquisition of Station 13

 This property acquisition will allow the Gunn Highway Fire Station #13 to be built to modern standards, providing adequate room for fire trucks to enter and exit the station in a safe, time sensitive way, and ensure optimal health and safety measures for the fire fighters.

The new station will reduce response times to residents in the Citrus Park community and nearby communities.

Hillsborough County's Population

Hillsborough County is the fourth-most populous county in Florida. In the last twenty-one (21) years the population of Hillsborough County increased on average by 1.34% per year, which represents twenty thousand (20,000) and up to twenty-five thousand (25,000) new residents moving into the County each year. This infusion of people has created a demand for housing, employment, and transportation. Despite all the growth and demand elsewhere, during this same time, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue had one (1) additional station built to service sixty-one thousand (61,000) new residents.

minutes matter, its the diffference between life or death

Rescue Services

Minutes Matter!!

HCFR is close to meeting its goal of Rescue Services, but minutes matter. The HCFR pre-hospital care system is being maxed out to capacity and services are being strained.

Minutes Matter!!

Minutes Matter!!

In cases, of heart failure serious injury can occur within three (3) to six (6) minutes and the risk of death increases exponentially afterwards. Other citations, state in the cases of respiratory failure brain damage and tissue damage begins around four (4) minutes. After ten (10) minutes, irreversible brain damage occurs and the chances of survival are virtually impossible. Finally, in cases of uncontrolled bleeding, again “Minutes Matter”. With no intervention a person can bleed out as quickly as five (5) minutes. All of these scenarios leave very small windows of opportunity to make a difference.

Fire Suppression

Minutes Matter!!

HCFR still has work to do to meet its goal for Fire Response. The only way to reduce response times is to shorten the distance between the calling point and the responding point. Hillsborough County needs more stations.

Lowering the ISO may result in a savings of up to 10% - 20% or higher in insurance premiums for Hillsborough citizens and businesses. Studies have shown insurance rates drop for both commercial and Hillsborough homeowner’s properties.
