Hello
and
welcome
to
Lake
to
Lake
a
show
about
her
beautiful
city
of
Bellevue
I'm,
your
host
Robin
Steele
today
we're
coming
to
you
from
Bellevue
Fire
Station
one
and
on
this
episode
of
Lake
to
Lake,
were
highlighting
plans
for
a
new
downtown
fire
station.
How
the
community
can
be
involved
in
the
city's
environmental
stewardship
initiative
and
a
youth
author
and
activist
speaking
out
about
the
need
for
changes
in
education.
A
B
Here
to
talk
about
the
new
fire
station
that
we're
building
in
Bellevue
and
how
this
station
is
going
to
benefit
the
community
in
2016,
the
Bellevue
voters
approved
a
comprehensive
fire
levee,
and
the
levees
purpose
is
to
build
the
infrastructure
of
the
city
and
the
fire
department
over
time.
The
community
is
going
to
benefit
because,
as
growth
is
happening
around
us,
we
want
to
be
prepared
to
meet
the
need
that
that
growth
is
going
to
bring
to
us,
and
so
through.
Our
data
analysis
and
trend
analysis.
B
We
likely
know
and
have
known
for
some
time
where
the
demand
is
going
to
be.
The
news
station
will
be
located
on
the
northwest
corner
of
a
hundred
and
12th
Avenue,
north
east
and
northeast
12th
Street,
and
by
situating
the
station
in
this
part
of
town,
it's
going
to
help
our
integrated
response
system
the
best,
so
the
most
people
will
benefit
by
having
these
units
in
this
location
to
really
understand
our
deployment
model,
and
that
means
why
our
station
is
located
where
they
are.
First,
you
have
to
understand
both
the
speed
and
weight
of
response.
B
Hello.
Sir,
can
you
hear
me
by
speed
of
response?
I
mean
how
many
elapsed
seconds
until
we
can
get
somebody
there
to
address
the
problem
and,
for
example,
if
somebody
was
choking,
we
want
to
get
someone
there
as
fast
as
possible
to
assess
the
patient
and
remove
the
obstruction,
but
it
doesn't
take
a
lot
of
people.
A
house
fire
in
a
residential
neighborhood
is
a
different
story.
Our
goal
is
to
get
16
firefighters
on
multiple
fire
apparatus.
B
To
seen
within
10
minutes,
that's
called
an
ERF,
an
effective
response
force
and
that's
one
of
the
metrics
that
we
track.
So
our
deployment
model
wants
to
respect
both
the
speed
and
weight
of
response.
One
of
the
areas
were
particularly
concerned
about
is
vertical
response
time,
with
five
high-rise
buildings
of
sixty
storeys
in
height,
in
permitting
right
now.
This
poses
a
new
challenge
for
Bellevue
firefighters.
B
So
our
goal
is
to
have
a
unit
at
the
curb
within
three
minutes,
because
we
still
need
time
to
access
and
capture
the
elevators
ride
them
up
in
the
building
or
ascend
the
stairs
before
we
can
address
the
problem.
That's
why
vertical
response
times
are
important
engine
110.
The
new
unit
will
be
staffed
with
three
members,
a
fire
officer,
an
engineer
that
drives
and
then
a
firefighter
that
rides
in
the
back,
we'll
be
relocating
an
aid
car
there
and
an
aide
cars
staffed
with
two
firefighters.
B
Emts
will
also
be
relocating
a
medic
unit
from
across
the
freeway
at
over
Lake
Hospital
to
the
new
station,
and
the
medic
unit
is
staffed
with
two
firefighter
paramedics
and
it
will
have
a
battalion
unit.
The
battalion
unit
has
our
on-duty
chief
officer,
who
has
operational
control
of
the
city
and
partners
with
an
essay
or
a
staff
assistant.
Our.
B
Estimates
tell
us
that
in
its
first
year
of
operation,
the
total
call
volume
from
that
station
will
be
about
7,000
alarms
and
of
that
7,000.
We
expect
about
80%
to
be
medical
in
nature,
and
the
other
remaining
20%
would
then
be
fire
related
rescue,
alarm
conditions
and
that
sort
affect
this
new
fire
station
is
a
necessary
addition.
It's
well
positioned
in
the
community
to
meet
our
perceived
demand,
it's
conveniently
located
near
freeway
on-ramps,
and
we
can
get
to
a
lot
of
places
really
well
from
this
location.
B
The
community
should
be
excited
because
they're
going
to
be
hosting
a
great
community
resource,
there
are
services
available
to
the
public
at
the
fire
stations.
If
you
want
a
blood
pressure
screening,
we
invite
people
to
come
in.
Do
that
we're
just
also
available
anytime
you're
having
an
emergency.
So
it's
not
only
going
to
benefit
the
immediate
neighbors
who
may
have
a
need
to
call,
but
it's
going
to
benefit
our
entire
city
and
our
service
area.
B
E
City
Council
launched
the
environmental
stewardship
initiative
over
a
decade
ago,
responding
to
interest
from
our
residents
to
take
a
role
in
sustainable
development
and
climate
change.
We
work
on
a
number
of
different
topics,
ranging
from
energy
efficiency
to
recycling,
to
helping
to
plant
trees
and
preserve
the
trees.
We
have
I
learned.
D
About
the
environmental
stewardship
initiative
a
few
weeks
ago
and
I
was
learning
about
how
Bellevue
has
this
own
plan
in
order
to
boldly
work
work
towards
creating
a
more
sustainable
community
that
specifically
details
that
actions
that
Bellevue
as
a
city
will
work
towards
in
order
to
reduce
our
carbon
emissions.
It
was
a
great
learning
experience
for
what
the
city
is
really
doing
and
how
we
can
work
as
an
entire
community
towards
this
effort
by.
C
E
E
Really
key
component
of
this
plan
is
not
only
what
we're
doing
at
at
City
Hall
and
in
our
city
facilities,
but
we
really
want
to
work
with
our
community
to
look
at
strategies
to
help
us
achieve
our
environmental
goals.
We're
gonna
be
doing
a
survey
in
early
2020
and
we
really
want
to
hear
from
our
residents
and
folks
who
work
in
Bellevue
about
what
are
some
of
their
priorities
around
environmental
stewardship.
What
are
some
important
things?
You
think
the
city
should
be
doing
for
more
information
about
the
environmental
stewardship
plan.
A
F
Always
loved
and
looked
up
to
dr.
King,
he
was
a
hero
for
me,
a
dream
and
action
in
a
symbol
of
change.
More
than
the
specific
events
I
learned
about
what
I
most
took
away
from
those
lessons
at
a
young
age
was
his
vision.
That
was
taught
the
concept
that,
through
peace,
love
and
persistence,
one
could
make
a
change
one
of
the
biggest
lessons
I've
learned
from
analyzing.
This
movement
is
the
importance
and
power
of
collective
action.
My
name
is
Asher
savage
I
am
a
senior
in
high
school
I'm.
F
18
years
old
and
I
wrote
the
book.
You
failed
us.
Students
of
color
talk,
Seattle
schools
from
a
place
of
anger
at
first
I
was
really
upset
with
the
experiences
that
I
had
as
a
student
of
color
in
school,
as
upset
about
what
I
had
heard
from
my
peers
of
color
and
I
wanted
to
do
something
about
it,
talking
to
teachers,
educators
about
how
they
can
empower
their
students
of
color,
how
they
can
build
power
for
them
in
the
classroom
and
how
they
be
more
effective
as
an
educator
in
supporting
their
students.
F
F
Elementary
school
I
was
the
only
black
student
in
my
classroom
and
being
in
a
room
full
of
only
other
white
students
and
feeling
like
I
was
always
different.
I
was
always
not
fully
welcomed.
It
really
impacted
my
relationship
with
Who
I,
am
it
made
me
feel
like
being
black
was
something
that
was
a
disadvantage
for
me,
and
that
was
something
wrong
with
me.
Any
change
that
positively
will
impact.
The
experience
of
students
of
color
is
change
that
is
necessary
and
change
worth
fighting
for.
F
For
you,
adults
I
believe
that
one
of
the
most
important
jobs
you
have
is
to
listen
to
the
youth
and
see
us
as
important,
see
us
as
powerful,
see
us
as
your
future.
I'm
thankful
for
dr.
King
for
inspiring
me
in
my
early
years,
and
all
those
who
have
inspired
me
since
I'm
extraordinarily
grateful
to
be
sharing
this
day
with
everyone
here.
Thank
you
all.
