Site Location Methodology
Deccan Modeling Software
- 3 Years past CAD Data analyzed
- County Wide GIS information added to
program
- Evaluated response performance based on
benchmarking to National Standards
- NFPA 1710 Standard: Dispatch, Turnout,
Travel
Fire: First Unit arrives 5:20 90%, EFF
(14 FFs) arrive 10:20 90% includes
Turnout and Travel
EMS: Paramedic on Scene in 9:00 90%
includes Turnout and Travel
- Outcome: Recommends best location on all
factors
Outcome Analysis
- Several models run to validate recommended
sites
- Analysis of overall fire protection and need
for Future Fire Facility Master Planning done
- SWOT Analysis done for two recommended
sites:
Site Availability with property ownership
and size requirements (Min. 1.5 acres)
Met with Architect and Civil Engineer on
details of each site

Performance Modeling of Current
Situation using Cad Analyst

Corner of E Street and
Shoup Ave. (FIRE)
Strengths: Maintains performance in core
area, City Owned Property, Property
available with adequate dimensions,
Allows budget to focus on construction
costs. Can easily match downtown
architectural needs. Admin close to City
Hall
Weaknesses: Does not improve
performance, Loss of Parking and lease
revenue
Opportunities: Collboration with Fire
District for coverage to the south
Threats: Future station to the North to
maintain performance
Shoup Avenue SWOT
Deccan International 20th Birthday
Higham Drive SWOT
Strengths: Increases EMS Performance
Weaknesses: Cost of property, reduction
in performance for core area, increase in
construction costs due to rock and need
for new street
Opportunities: Possible land swap for
purchase, Possible adjacent land for
Training Grounds. Collaboration with
Fire District for coverage to the South
Threats: Future station to the North to
maintain performance
Corner of Fremont and
Higham Drive (Ambulance)

Lessons Learned
Location based on data not intuition
Ability to answer questions and run modeling of
other options
Identified weak areas of the city for future change
Will help us with District realignment
Will help us establish response standards that are
realistic

Overall Experience
Time sensitive project: Deccan was very responsive
to this need
Monica and other staff supportive in developing
maps and other data for us
Learning new ways to use Deccan everyday
