Station 13 serves the North Tampa community, including Busch Boulevard communities, Copeland Park, Forest Hills and other neighboring communities, according to Viera.
Now Viera is calling on city leaders to "finish the job" by getting a Master Plan study in place for all of public safety, including police, fire and EMS.
