Clemmons Fire Department Two-Station Plan

  • What: Clemmons Fire Department asked the county to approve conveying its 4840 Hampton Road parcel back to the original owner and buying a lot at Hampton and Idols roads, shifting from three planned stations to two relocated ones. No county funding was requested. Response-time data cited: about 45% of calls missed the benchmark; address-point coverage within four minutes would rise from about 81% to about 94%. (From auto-captions; names and numbers may be misheard.)
