Keep Union City Safe: Save Fire Station 30 & Response Times
Keep Union City Safe is a resident-led campaign working to keep Fire Station 30 open and to safeguard the emergency response times Union City families rely on. Here you'll find why the station matters, what's at risk, and how you can help protect local safety.
The Importance of Fire Station 30
Fire Station 30 is far more than a structure—it's a lifeline for the communities it protects. When seconds matter, a station close by can be the difference between a near miss and a tragedy. It's home to firefighters and equipment ready to answer fires, medical emergencies, and other crises. Shutting it down or scaling back operations would inevitably stretch response times, placing lives and property at even greater risk.
How Response Times Are at Risk
Any proposal that shrinks fire service coverage in Union City puts every resident at risk. Slower response times can mean worse fire damage, more injuries, and greater loss of life. For seniors, families, and anyone facing an urgent emergency, a delayed response is simply unacceptable. Keep Union City Safe exists to make sure decision-makers grasp these consequences and put public safety first.
