Elk River Fire Department <br />Elk River, MN <br />Fire Station Feasibility and Facilities Study <br /> <br /> <br />Five Bugles Design <br />A Division of Wendel Companies <br />SECTION 1 – STATION LOCATION AND RESPONSE TIME STUDY <br />Five Bugles Design and our GIS mapping partner, Graef Engineering, used GIS mapping technology to <br />create response time mapping of the department’s existing stations. This data is then compared to <br />required response times from NFPA 1720 and well as Department policy and historical response. A gap <br />analysis is generated that defines areas where response times can be improved so that new station(s) <br />locations can be recommended. Finally, response time maps are created that project the department’s <br />response times from the newly recommended locations. <br />Additional mapping and consideration is given to land use, soils, population densities and other pertinent <br />data. Applicable mapping is included in this section. All mapping is included in the appendix. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Figure 10: Existing Stations Response Time Mapping <br />2
