How will Canyon Springs handle fire protection and will it cause a strain on the current fire department?
The proposed Canyon Springs project is well within the boundaries of the Truckee Fire Protection District which stretches from Soda Springs to Floriston. An existing fire station (#95), located at the corner of Dorchester and Manchester Drives, will serve as a first response location in the event of an emergency. Being approximately one and a half miles from the project site will enable short response times. The fire district currently charges development fees based on the square footage of a home at the time a building permit is issued. This fee is increased periodically to match the equipment needs of the district and will generate a significant amount of fees from the Canyon Springs project while not considerably increasing the need for services as the Canyon Springs project adjoins existing residences of the greater Glenshire area.
