Fire Hydrants

This is a point data set of fire hydrants managed by Boise City. The term 'managed' is used in this data set to denote that Boise City maintains a mapped location of the fire hydrant to satisfy needs identified in the purpose section of this metadata. A fire hydrant is any fixture designed to enable firefighters to tap into the water distribution system to assist in extinguishing a fire. In the Boise region these are typically the traditional above ground cast iron hydrants (generally red) with a cap and valves. This data set also includes atypical hydrants such as the underground access points as found at the Boise Airport. This data set was created by Boise City GIS beginning in 2008 based on available information from United Water, Ada County, Garden City, Meridian, and hardcopy maps maintained by Boise Fire. The data is currently updated via GPS and heads-up digitizing (when GPS data is not available). This dataset is continually updated as new hydrants are installed and location or attribute errors are corrected. The data set is current to the last date of publication. This data set contains all fire hydrants in the following locales: 1) Boise City Limits/Boise Fire District and enclaves; 2) Whitney Fire District and enclaves; 3) North Ada County Fire and Rescue (NACFR) Fire District excluding Garden City; and 4) the general area five miles south and east of the Boise area of impact that are not within a fire district. No data is collected for the following areas: 1) Garden City limits or Garden City area of impact; 2) Kuna fire district; 3) Meridian fire district; and 4) Eagle fire district本数据集为博伊西市（Boise City）管理的消防栓（fire hydrant）点位数据集。本数据集所用的“管理”一词，意指博伊西市已为该消防栓维护了映射坐标，以满足本元数据用途章节中明确的需求。消防栓是指专为消防员接入市政供水系统以协助灭火而设计的各类设施。在博伊西地区，此类设施通常为带阀带盖的传统地上铸铁消防栓（外观多为红色）。本数据集同时涵盖非典型消防栓，例如博伊西机场（Boise Airport）内的地下接入式消防栓。本数据集由博伊西市地理信息系统（Boise City GIS）于2008年起构建，数据来源包括联合水务（United Water）、艾达县（Ada County）、加登城（Garden City）、梅里迪安市（Meridian）的公开数据，以及博伊西消防局（Boise Fire）留存的纸质地图。当前数据通过全球定位系统（GPS）及屏幕数字化方式更新（无GPS数据时采用屏幕数字化手段）。随着新增消防栓的安装以及点位或属性错误的修正，本数据集将持续得到更新。本数据集的最新更新截止至末次发布日期。本数据集涵盖以下区域内的全部消防栓：1) 博伊西市辖区/博伊西消防局辖区及其飞地；2) 惠特尼消防局辖区及其飞地；3) 不含加登城的北艾达县消防救援（North Ada County Fire and Rescue, NACFR）辖区；4) 博伊西受影响区域以南及以东5英里范围内、未归属任何消防局管辖的全域区域。以下区域未纳入本数据集的采集范围：1) 加登城辖区及其受影响区域；2) 库纳消防局辖区；3) 梅里迪安市消防局辖区；4) 伊格尔消防局辖区
