Christopher Sullivan wouldn’t be in the Topeka Fire Department’s target response time if the city were to relocate two fire stations in the Oakland and North Topeka area. He would only be a few seconds out of the response time, but he doesn’t support the decision to move them.
“It doesn’t (work) for my neighborhood,” Sullivan said. “I am sorry to be selfish . I support my neighborhood.”
Sullivan, a member of the Topeka Fire Commission, said the city should consider other options for future fire stations, which the city is doing. Not all areas of town receive equitable response times under the station’s current layout.
