Council pressure to build station immediately


Site Location Methodology

Deccan Modeling Software

- 3 Years past CAD Data analyzed

- County Wide GIS information added to

program

- Evaluated response performance based on

benchmarking to National Standards

- NFPA 1710 Standard: Dispatch, Turnout,

Travel

Fire: First Unit arrives 5:20 90%, EFF

(14 FFs) arrive 10:20 90% includes

Turnout and Travel

EMS: Paramedic on Scene in 9:00 90%

includes Turnout and Travel

- Outcome: Recommends best location on all

factors

Outcome Analysis

- Several models run to validate recommended

sites

- Analysis of overall fire protection and need

for Future Fire Facility Master Planning done

- SWOT Analysis done for two recommended

sites:

Site Availability with property ownership

and size requirements (Min. 1.5 acres)

Met with Architect and Civil Engineer on

details of each site


Deccan Applications Used

Cad Analyst

Historical data

compared to NFPA

1710

Demonstrated weak

areas of system

Identified goal of

keeping response at

least status quo

ADAM with Optimizer

Multiple scenarios run

with Fire/EMS

Use of GIS and CAD

Analyst 50/50

Maps and Data used

in Council Presentation


Performance Modeling of Current

Situation using Cad Analyst

Ambulance 1:

Located at 647 Shoup Ave

Fire Engine 1:

Located at 525 8th Street


Primary Sites Evaluated for Fire Response

Corner of Fremont and

Higham Drive (Ambulance))

Corner of E Street and

Shoup Ave. (FIRE)


Corner of E Street and

Shoup Ave. (FIRE)

Strengths: Maintains performance in core

area, City Owned Property, Property

available with adequate dimensions,

Allows budget to focus on construction

costs. Can easily match downtown

architectural needs. Admin close to City

Hall

Weaknesses: Does not improve

performance, Loss of Parking and lease

revenue

Opportunities: Collboration with Fire

District for coverage to the south

Threats: Future station to the North to

maintain performance

Shoup Avenue SWOT


Higham Drive SWOT

Strengths: Increases EMS Performance

Weaknesses: Cost of property, reduction

in performance for core area, increase in

construction costs due to rock and need

for new street

Opportunities: Possible land swap for

purchase, Possible adjacent land for

Training Grounds. Collaboration with

Fire District for coverage to the South

Threats: Future station to the North to

maintain performance

Corner of Fremont and

Higham Drive (Ambulance)


Lessons Learned

Location based on data not intuition

Ability to answer questions and run modeling of

other options

Identified weak areas of the city for future change

Will help us with District realignment

Will help us establish response standards that are

realistic


Overall Experience

Time sensitive project: Deccan was very responsive

to this need

Monica and other staff supportive in developing

maps and other data for us

Learning new ways to use Deccan everyday
