"Building this station and adding another engine to our system really is going to improve our response times to not only the community here, but throughout the whole city," Manteca Fire Department Battalion Chief Sterrie McLeod said.
The new station at the intersection of Oak Trail Drive and Joshua Street, and additional firefighters, will allow them to cover more ground and respond even quicker.
It takes fire crews about 12 to 15 minutes to respond to a call in this part of the city. If another call comes in, they have to pull resources from another station, which leaves that area of town without a fire crew.
"In case of an emergency, I think the better the response time and the closer the fire department is, I think that would be great help to the community," Manteca Resident Avdeep Sandhu shared.
This is all thanks, in part, to Measure Q, which was approved by voters in 2024.
"With the building of Station 6, that unit will then move there, and all those guys will be trained, have familiarity with the city, and really be seamless on how we implement the station," Battalion Chief McLeod explained.
In terms of the new fire station, they are planning on breaking ground by the end of the year.
