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 />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 time and dispatch time 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 of 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 that travel <br />response time reach is above the nationally recommended guidelines, it may actually meet <br />standards because the analysis included both emergency and non-emergency calls. 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 <br />TriData Division <br />May 2008 <br />Of notice is the fact that the four-minute hypothetical coverage is unchanged throughout <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 />
