Station Location, Apparatus, and Staffing Analysis <br />Roseville, MN <br />Map 4: Four, Six, and Eight Minute Response Time Reach for Proposed Station Relocation <br />Qf notice is the fact that the four-minute hypothetical coverage is unchanged Lhroughout <br />the city, despite the elimination of one fire station. The locations of the two fire stations are <br />strategically placed to optimize response time reach and would result in a reduction of operating <br />costs. <br />Overall, the city of Roseville provides good fire and EMS coverage. A thorough <br />evaluation of total response time , including call processing, turnout and total time intervals for <br />emergency calls could not be conducted due to gaps (i.e. lack of information available regarding <br />alarm tinr►e and dispatch rime as well as the differentiation between non-emergency and <br />emergency calls) in the CAD data. Based on analysis of the CAD data, the amount af time taken <br />to respond (travel time) to an incident exceeds national standards by exactly one minute for EMS <br />and two minutes for fire calls at the 90�' percentile. Although this information shows tnat travel <br />response time reach is above the nationally recommended guidelines, it may actually meet <br />standards because the analysis inciuded both emergency and non-emergency ca11s. The GIS <br />information may actually reveal a more accurate picture of response time coverage, which is <br />excellent for the city of Roseville. <br />System Planning Corporation 17 May 2008 <br />TriData Division <br />
