Loudoun County, VA, is one of the fastest growing jurisdictions in the U.S. Although ranked by Forbes Magazine as the richest county in the United States, Loudoun faces challenges posed by massive growth and an ever-tightening budget. In just over 20 years, Loudoun County has grown from a farming community of 86,000 residents to a mix of rural, suburban, and urban development with a population of over 328,000 residents. The Loudoun County Department of Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Management uses several Deccan products to build response areas, determine optimum new station and apparatus deployments, and to help ensure that they are providing the public a good value for their tax dollars.

The El Paso Fire Department uses Esri ArcGIS as its primary GIS platform for cartography and spatial analysis. With the implementation of CAD Analyst and ADAM on a MapInfo 11 platform, the Department has found a need to be able to move data between the two environments for display and further analysis. Topics include converting and displaying spatial data between Esri and MapInfo, adding base maps and aerial imagery, and transferring analysis results to Esri for further analysis.
Spatial Analysis of Deccan Data within the Esri Environment
Traditionally, Austin – Travis County EMS has looked at response time compliance to verify that LiveMUM is working effectively. Since multiple factors contribute to response time compliance, ATC has explored methods to specifically identify LiveMUM’s contributions and effects on this measurement. Accordingly, ATC EMS decided to review move-ups over a period of time and analyze whether that unit responded to a call while posted. A study was done using available CAD data on the busiest posted units to see if they received a call when on the post assignment in that area. To this end, ATC reviewed the unit activity, normalized the data, and made correlations between the posts and calls.

City management wanted to reduce overtime while providing more EMS service to the citizens. A budget neutral solution was offered involving adding five full time Rescues, converting all Engines to ALS Engines and removing eight peak demands. Dallas Fire Rescue used CAD Analyst, Hypercube ADAM and other data sources to provide answers to its Rescue Committee. Topics include: data items requested, map legend customization, PDG data extraction, code table customization, time data analysis, base line data formulation, and many others.
EMS Response Optimization and Analysis
This session will explore a number of grant funding opportunities for deployment analysis software available to fire and EMS agencies. The topics include: why you need to invest in deployment software, sources of funding, strategies for maximizing your odds of getting a grant, and how it can be used to leverage resources within your agency.
Leveraging Grant Funding (for Deccan Software)

In this session, Ken Reese will be discussing the challenges of implementing LiveMUM in a multi- jurisdictional, multi-discipline dispatch center with 50 fire agencies, eight ambulance agencies and one county EMS agency. He will answer questions such as: What did it take to overcome these hurdles and implement the LiveMUM product? Can LiveMUM really predict when and where the next call will happen? What are some of the best ways to use LiveMUM and how they might work for you? Ken Reese will then conclude by discussing how to train and engage a dispatcher in the use of LiveMUM.

Get a sneak peak of what has been planned for LiveMUM 2.0! This is a unique opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed changes. The presentation will include images of proposed graphic user interface (GUI) outlay, an overview of new features, and a look at the updated system architecture.
LiveMUM: The Next Generation
Since 2009, Fairfax County Fire and Rescue has used LiveMUM on a daily basis to cope with demanding call volume and increasingly fewer department resources. After budget cuts led to the elimination of a second on-duty Uniformed Fire Officer, the department deployed LiveMUM to manage resource deployment in real time and for planned events. This session will provide practical, rather than data-driven, insight into the successful everyday use of LiveMUM, and how its use has helped to quickly identify coverage gaps and forecast gaps for planned events using Wall Map, static, and live versions of LiveMUM.
