Alexandria Fire Department Preparing to Survey Response Area

Members of the Alexandria Fire Department are preparing to conduct a survey of residents in the city limits of Alexandria and five miles into DeKalb County. The purpose of this survey is to satisfy the requirements of a Community Development Block Grant from the State of Tennessee. If awarded the grant, funds would be used to purchase a new fire engine for the Alexandria Fire Department which will replace a nearly forty year old truck.
Surveys will be completed by phone and door-to-door by members of the Alexandria Fire Department. Households are chosen at random to accurately represent the entire service area of the department. The survey will only take a few minutes and it asks questions about demographics as well as what range your total annual household income falls into.
Surveys will begin November 1st and last until the end of the year. If any residents have questions or concerns about the survey contact Fire Chief Brian Partridge at 615-308-1615 or Assistant Chief John Partridge at 615-587-3940 or email PartridgeJ@Alexandria-Fire.com.
