We’ve recognized this need and have spent over a decade developing solutions that help our clients optimize resources, improve response times, and plan effectively for the future.
We’re excited to share our free Station Planning Guide— a practical resource to help fire departments operate at peak efficiency. This guide equips fire chiefs with the knowledge and confidence to make data-backed decisions, eliminating guesswork and ultimately saving lives.
After reading this guide, you’ll be able to:
Rethink Station Impact
- Identify underperforming stations that may hinder response times due to outdated planning.
- Explore neighborhood dynamics (life cycles, demographics) and their influence on station needs.
- Understand how aging, renewal, and road networks affect station coverage.
- Link station planning to measurable outcomes: improved response times, lives saved, reduced property damage.
Create Effective Station Planning Strategies
- Forecasting essentials: determining detail levels, planning horizons, and handling growth.
- Move beyond traditional coverage models to accurate probabilistic modeling for optimal station density.
- Embrace modern station models: smaller, satellite, and mixed-use stations to reduce costs and maximize coverage.
