Staffing Fire Station 6 with SAFER grant firefighters
Manteca
Summary
Nine new federally funded firefighters will staff an engine company serving southwest Manteca, where response times hit nearly nine minutes versus the six-minute-20-second national standard. The grant covers most costs for three years, but the city must fund the positions permanently starting in year four, likely from Measure Q.
