Planned <br /> residential,educational and potential commercial/retail development will impact the <br /> workload of the County 9-1-1 Center,fire and EMS emergency response. Increase in staff <br /> may be needed to process the additional call volumes and mitigation of incidents. We have <br /> an attachment with the potential increases indicated. <br /> We share concerns about means of access for emergency response and disaster mitigation. <br /> Adequate access is vital to a project of this scope to insure secondary means of ingress and <br /> egress. <br /> Water supplies for fire protection should be adequate for necessary fire flows based on <br /> National Fire Protection Association guidelines. Water lines should be looped and fire <br /> hydrants adequately spaced. <br /> If you need additional information,please contact us. <br /> Located at 1914 New Hope Church Road•Chapel Hill,North Carolina 27514 <br />
