There are 10 fire houses in New Haven. Each one has a fire engine assigned to the local neighborhood. If they close Engine 8, East Rock will be the only fire house in the city without an assigned neighborhood engine.
Is this because the neighborhood assigned to Engine 8 is smaller than the other city districts?
No. East Rock is one of the largest districts assigned to any fire house.
Is this because the neighborhood has fewer people that other city districts?
No. East Rock is one of the most densely populated districts in the city.
Is this because we pay less in property taxes than other neighborhoods? Or because we deserve to have fewer public safety services?
Is this because we don't need fire protection?
Hmmm. Perhaps we should think about this.
