Ada County Fire First Due

This is a polygon data set representing first due areas for stations located in Ada County. A first area is geographical area that one station is closer to than any other station. It should normally be served by the personnel and apparatus from the fire station in the event of a fire or other emergency. With today’s computer aided dispatch (CAD) systems, station first due areas are no longer used to assign an apparatus to an incident. The closest engine, no matter the district, will be assigned. We now use the first due areas to analyze if our fire fighting force is being used efficiently. We will use it to see if certain stations are busier that others and if stations have a concentration of a specific type of call in their first due area. This information will be used to make business decisions within all fire departments in Ada County. The data set was created from FireView Desktop software based on current street network, station locations, and fire district boundaries. The accuracy is unknown. This data was created by the City of Boise. This data is updated as needed. It is current to the date of publication.本数据集为多边形数据集，涵盖爱达荷县（Ada County）内各消防站的责任首区（first due area）。责任首区指某消防站相较于其他所有消防站距离更近的地理区域，通常在发生火灾或其他应急事件时，由该消防站的人员与装备负责处置。在当前计算机辅助调度（CAD, Computer Aided Dispatch）系统普及的背景下，消防站责任首区已不再用于为应急事件指派救援装备，而是会优先指派距离事件最近的消防车，无论其所属责任辖区。当前我们借助责任首区分析消防力量的部署效率，可用于评估各消防站的出警繁忙程度，以及各站点责任首区内是否存在特定类型警情集中的情况。该数据集信息将用于爱达荷县各消防部门的运营决策制定。本数据集基于当前道路网络、消防站位置及消防辖区边界，通过FireView Desktop软件生成。数据集的准确性暂未可知，由博伊西市（City of Boise）编制，可根据需求进行更新，数据时效性至发布当日。
