Fire station location study for the city of Union City, Tennessee

In response to a request for assistance from Union City Fire Chief Karl Ullrich, MTAS conducted a fire station location study for use in planning for the future of fire and life safety service delivery in Union City, Tennessee. MTAS reviewed the current organization and structure of the fire department and the community to provide information and potential sites for the location and operation of a new fire station to supplement the two which are already in service. Areas within the Union City Rural Fire Protection District (Appendix A) but outside of the current municipal limits and Union City urban growth planning boundary were not considered in this study. Additional reviews will be required for final site selection for the construction of a new fire station.
