The maps were based on mapping data from <br />the County's GIS Department. <br />- Locate the fire stations to be analyzed with respect to the network. <br />- Assign appropriate road speeds to reflect reasonable response <br />expectations. <br />- Generate maps indicating distances from the emergency response stations <br />in two-mile increments to the borders of the community. <br />- Generate maps indicating travel time from the emergency response <br />stations in time increments to the borders of the community. <br />Four computer maps were developed for this overview of fire and rescue <br />operations. Each map includes the location of fire stations in Orange County. Two <br />maps are designed to show distances from each station in two-mile increments; two <br />maps show response times from each station in two-minute increments. <br />Map 1 Distance Map (without district boundaries) <br />Map 2 Distance Map (with district boundaries) <br />Map 3 Travel Time Map (without district boundaries) <br />Map 4 Travel Time Map (with district boundaries) <br />The computer maps display 401 square miles and 1,798 road miles in the <br />County. There are 20 fire stations in Orange County. <br />COUNTY-WIDE MAPPING DATA -DISTANCE MAPS <br />Maps 1 and 2 show the area within two, four, and six miles of each station. <br />The maps also include streets within each of the identified distances. Map 2 shows <br />fire district boundaries. <br />The maps also generate data, which allows an estimation of the street miles <br />and area within two miles of each station. The data associated with Maps 1 and 2 is <br />presented in Exhibit 13. The exhibit is composed of two parts. The top part of the <br />exhibit shows streets and area within two, four, and six miles of each station. The <br />bottom part of the exhibit presents cumulative road miles and area within two, four, <br />~} MMA CONSULTfNG GROUP, INC. 17 <br />
