The Fire/EMS Standards of Coverage study was commissioned to analyze the effectiveness of the current deployment system; evaluate the need for additional fire stations, apparatus, and crews; recommend criteria for the placement and timing of these stations; and develop the criteria for deployment reductions of three to five fire stations to meet the fiscal needs of the District’s declining revenues. The study exceeded all of the District’s expectations and was very well received by the elected officials and stakeholders. The District adopted and implemented Citygate’s brownout service reduction plan. Citygate has been retained by the District to perform numerous additional engagements.

Citygate was retained by the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District and the Sacramento County Department of Airports to review the operational and economic issues associated with the consolidation of Metro Fire with the Natomas Fire District surrounding the Sacramento International Airport.

The Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District retained Citygate to prepare a geographic coverage analysis, maps and road mile measurements, and shared service boundaries between the District and the City of Sacramento Fire Department.

The Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District commissioned Citygate to update the District’s fire station, apparatus, and crew needs to account for the expected post-recession growth proposals being processed by the Sacramento County Department of Community Development and the City of Rancho Cordova Planning Department.
