The computer mapping model <br />analyzes the travel distances that can be achieved by fire units leaving fire stations <br />and responding throughout a geographic area within a given time, assuming defined <br />average response speeds. The color-coded maps presented in this report are designed <br />to illustrate the response from each station. <br />The mapping methodology consists of the following steps: <br />- Prepare a digitized base map representation of the street and highway <br />network in Orange County. 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 />~} MMA CONSULTING GkOUP,1NC. 17 <br />
