Mapping

The departments will be required to provide a computer generated map with the following information.

• Maps must be labeled with the appropriate Fire District name• Maps must have a scale printed on the map, with 1” = 1,200’ the preferred scale,• The fire station physical location(s),• Road base with road names,• All pressure hydrants plotted• All static water points plotted and identified with ID number• Maps must include the Response District boundary of the Department• Maps must include the five-mile insurance district boundary line• Maps must include the total road miles located within the five-mile district, with no overlapping of

roadways between this station and any other station or Fire District. Do not include interstatehighways when calculating total road miles. Round all mileages to the nearest tenth mile.

The following information is needed if the GIS Department has the software capable of producing this data.

• Total road miles within 1-1/2 miles of each station, within the five-mile district and with nooverlapping of roadways between this station and any other station or Fire District. Round all mileagesto the nearest tenth mile.

• Total road miles within 2-1/2 miles of each station, within the five-mile district and with nooverlapping of roadways between this station and any other station or Fire District. Round all mileagesto the nearest tenth mile.

• We would request the GIS department provide SHAPE FILES for the fire district. The file shouldinclude Station Locations, Approved response district boundary line, 5-mile fire district line, hydrantlayer and static water point layer.

The inspector will be glad to talk with the GIS person if they should have any questions concerning the mapping requirements.
