2 Hurdles (NAVTEQ data Laurel Green example) Current software use map books field data (COP, OEM, disasters, critical infrastructure, water infrastructure problems, preplans) ISO ratings EOY stats (deployment, service analysis, trends) Arcgis online the future (info sharing, arcgis explorer) esri white paper on fd gis use

3 22 square mile suburban community Night-time population of 40,000; day-time population ~150,000 Residential, commercial, light industrial Fire District comprised of three fire stations averaging 2,300 incidents per year. EMS is a separate public entity of the Township averaging 4,600 incidents per year.

4 The MLFD is a combination fire department consisting of approximately 50 career and 50 volunteer personnel operating out of 3 fire stations. We are a 24-hour operation providing services including fire suppression, fire prevention, hazardous materials, and technical rescue throughout the County.

5 In a cooperative project with the Mt. Laurel MUA, we received ESRI software in an effort to develop Mt. Laurel s GIS. MLMUA was established as the lead agency for GIS within the Township. In 2009, we deployed MDTs into our apparatus with a goal of delivering GIS information to end users.

7 Types of data we maintain Critical Infrastructure Fire hydrants, structure footprints, fire department connections, road centerlines, emergency management functional data (i.e. shelters, disaster incident points) Fire response statistical information Incident locations, loss data, Types of data we borrow MUA water supply infrastructure, County tax database

33 Current Service Model Proposed Service Model

34 Current Service Model Proposed Service Model

35 Incident volume is directly related to changes in community characteristics This apartment complex will add approx. 15 fire incidents per year Overall, Fire/EMS/Police may see an increase of approx. 75 incidents per year

36 Trends Historical data analysis leads to predictions

37 Report Automation - Server tools allow for automated processes to run

38 Data must be verified for accuracy before reporting on it Do more with it than just putting dots on a map Statistical analysis may prove or disprove your theories Understand why the dots are where they are and how they relate to other dots and your organization s goals.

40 History Used Claris Draw Printed binders kept in the apparatus Identified the need for updated map books in 2009 Began working with the Mt Laurel Municipal Utilities Authority Concept meetings

41 Goals User friendly even for mutual aid partners Scale small enough that it was easily viewable but not too large that would require multiple volumes Data was to include: Hydrants, drafting points, road centerlines, building footprints, fire department connections, small scale supplemental maps of high-hazard areas

42 Used a grid map developed by NJ Office of Natural Lands Management to track rare plant species

43 Deployed personnel by grid to verify road data, fire hydrant and fire department connection locations
