MEMORANDUM
TO: Hannah Ratzlaff, Planning Manager
FROM: Michael Doan, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Annexation A-353 — Faymonville Annexation — 5414 Fletcher Road
CC: Brad Jordan, Director of Planning and Development
DATE: January 21, 2026
This memorandum is submitted in response to the Planning Division's request for Fire Department
comment regarding the referenced pending annexation.
Need for new fire stations, apparatus, or staffing / estimated costs
Based on estimated travel times and current first -due coverage from the City of Little Rock Fire Stations
that would serve the annexation area, the Little Rock Fire Department (LRFD) anticipates no need for
additional fire stations, apparatus, or staffing to serve this area at this time. Accordingly, no incremental
personnel, equipment, or station infrastructure costs are anticipated as a direct result of this annexation
under current conditions.
Operational considerations / conditions
This assessment is based on existing road access and current development assumptions. The LRFD
requests re-evaluation if any of the following change or are proposed as part of the annexation or
subsequent development approvals:
• Significant increases in density, scope, or intensity of development (e.g., large multifamily,
industrial, high -hazard, or major commercial projects)
• Changes to primary access routes, traffic controls, gates, bridges, or other constraints that could
impact response times
• Water supply/fire flow needs that exceed existing system capability (hydrant spacing, flow
testing, tank or main improvements)
• Street/parcel configurations that limit apparatus access, turnaround, or staging
Please contact me should additional information or clarification be needed.
Respectfully,
