Chief Ray
|
In addition to our usual bunch of exciting neighborhood issues, and of course, donuts, we've invited Anne Arundel County Fire Chief Bob Ray to meet with us and discuss issues of common concern.
Please take this opportunity to meet one of our county's most important people -- the guy whose department literally has your family's lives as their most immediate responsibility. In addition to whatever remarks he thinks appropriate, the following are topics we hope Chief Ray might be able to address, so plan to be there!
- Traffic control problems: In addition to our very limited geographic access issue, how might we better encourage folks to avoid hampering the transit of emergency vehicles by parking on our too-narrow streets? Besides the obvious police ticketing option, which may not be too neighborly, might the AAFD send out circulars specifically addressing this issue through encouraging enlightened self-interest?
- Now that we have some history with our new fire station, how do the number of calls compare to other county stations; i.e., how busy are they?
- With AOTB's costly and painful experience still unresolved, how might AAFD ease the drafting site construction process for other coastal communities who may be considering taking such steps to enhance their own safety?
