Fire Station 17 Ambulance
We reported last fall that the City budget crunch might cause the removal of Dallas Fire Rescue’s ambulance at Station 17 located at Skillman and Belmont. Bruce Felps at EastDallasTimes.com reports that according to Assistant Fire Chief Tod Gillam, the ambulance will be reassigned to another station during the last week of March or first week of April.
According to DFR, Station 17 receives the fewest emergency medical calls in the city among all station houses. Our area will probably be served by Station 8, located 2 minutes farther away at Garrett and Monarch. Station 17 will still have paramedics. According to Gillam, “They have all the tools, all the drugs, and can do everything an ambulance can do except transport.”
Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Street Closures
The Rock ‘n’ Roll half-marathon will take place and have a major impact on our neighborhood on Sunday, March 27. As well as forcing traffic to use neighborhood streets, two area thoroughfares will be part of the half-marathon course. Mockingbird and Skillman are again partially closed on Sunday morning, March 27. Traffic will be slow, and it will be difficult to cross these two streets. It’s recommended that you plan ahead if you intend to drive on Sunday morning. Mockingbird eastbound will be closed between Airline Road (east of Central) and Skillman from 7:00-11:30 a.m. One eastbound lane of Mockingbird will remain open. Skillman will be closed between Mockingbird and Swiss Avenue from 7:00 a.m. to noon. One northbound lane of Skillman will be open between Live Oak and Mockingbird.
