Do you need help convincing

Do you need help convincing fire officials that narrow neighborhood streets can accommodate fire engines and other emergency vehicles? One avenue is the new video Walkable Streets and the Fire Department put out by the Local Government Commission in Sacramento, California. The video features interviews with fire department officials in Oregon and California and demonstrations of how fire trucks can maneuver on narrow streets. Also available is the manual Emergency Response, Traffic Calming and Traditional Neighborhood Streets by Dan Burden of Walkable Communities. Contact: (916) 448-1198 or www.lgc.org.
