This especially helped us in parts of Alkol and the Little Horse Creek areas of Julian. Reducing Response time by distributing equipment between stations Reducing response time in daytime when manpower is limited by reducing travel time to station to get a truck Attracting New Members-We have gained 4 new members since the station began operation. All are Fire Fighter level 1 trained and are under 30 years of age. Potential to gain recognition for Duval, Danville and Alum Creek VFD’s as ISO mutual Aid companies and vise versa.
