, � . <br /> , <br /> � <br /> III. OB7ECTIVE OF THE WORK <br /> , <br /> , The objective of this proposal is to introduce a proven technology for fire service evaluation and <br /> planning that will provide the City with the means to make better,more defensible decisions about <br /> ' the number, type, and location of fire starions that are needed to meet locally derived response time <br /> objectives. <br /> ' This technology,enritled the Fire Station Location Package(FSLP), is a computer-based <br /> planning and management tool. It will provide Fire Department and local Management personnel <br /> ' with a means to analyze the adequacy of elcisring fire services and develop alternative plans resulting <br /> in a more efficient utilization of resources and a more equitable distribution of services throughout the <br /> ' community. <br /> ' The FSLP supports improved evaluation and planning by comparing response times resulting <br /> from specific fire station configurarions with those established as objectives by the local project team. <br /> These comparisons are done on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis, for complete fire districts <br /> ' and for the community as a whole. <br /> , Travel distances and travel times from each neighborhood to existing or proposed fire station <br /> sites are determined by using a computer-readable version of the communit�s street network. The <br /> ' network accurately traces the paths fire trucks take in traveling to fires. It takes into account actual <br /> physical barriers to travel, such as rivers, freeways, or railroad tracks. The network also allows the <br /> , local project team to analyze accurately the impact that changes in the community's current <br /> transportation network, such as a new railroad overpass or an emergency traffic light control system, <br /> will have on fire seivice delivery. <br /> ' <br /> ' <br /> � <br /> ' 1 <br /> ' <br />
