Throughout much of the United States, the Insurance Services Office (ISO)
maps fire station locations and measures response capabilities based on
transportation systems, equipment, personnel, and other factors. It assesses
and reports on the level of protection provided to member insurers.
The following exercise uses the new ArcGIS Network Analyst 9.2
extension to map and model time- and distance-based response around
existing and proposed fire stations throughout King County Fire District
37. The exercise maps 1.5 mile ISO fire hydrant deployment, five-minute
distribution, eight-minute concentration, and optimal time-based response
for all stations.
