Impacts to public services would occur if the project increased <br /> demand for services such that new or expanded facilities would be required,and these new facilities <br /> would themselves cause environmental impacts. As discussed below,the proposed project's impacts <br /> to existing public services would be less than significant. <br /> Fire Protection.Although a portion of the project site is located within San Mateo County, fire <br /> protection and life safety services for the site are provided by the Redwood City Fire Department <br /> (Fire Department)because the building itself is located within the City boundaries. The Fire <br /> Department operates seven fire stations which serve the cities of Redwood City and San Carlos. The <br /> Fire Department currently has over 90 staff members including firefighters, firefighter/paramedics, <br /> captains,battalion chiefs, fire prevention staff,training staff,and administrative staff.103 During the <br /> 2012/2013 fiscal year,the year for which the most recent data is available,the Fire Department <br /> responded to 7,656 calls for service, 5,221 (nearly 70 percent)of which were medical related.
