County fire, EMS and dispatch leaders brief commissioners on development impacts
Summary
Sevier County fire, EMS and E-911 leadership told the Emergency Services Committee they had reviewed a proposed Sevierville development and provided reports on potential impacts; the public asked whether a city fire station could house a county ambulance and whether hydrants and water pressure would be sufficient.
Chief David Puckett (Department of Fire Prevention and Response) "gave a report" to the committee outlining how the proposed Sevierville development could affect Sevier County Fire/Rescue operations, according to the meeting record. Director Andrew Whaley (Central Communications, E-911) and EMS leadership also briefed the Committee; the transcript records presentations but contains no numerical capacity or response-time data.
Members of the public asked whether the City of Sevierville Fire Department could house a county ambulance at Sevierville Fire Department Station 1 and whether hydrants would be installed in the proposed development. These questions were recorded for referral to the City of Sevierville; the transcript records the concerns but does not include answers from city staff or detailed operational commitments.
