Lino Lakes, Minnesota – Fire Department Analysis Page 10 <br /> <br />The fire incident density map includes all incidents classified as a fire within the NFIRS database (based <br />on fire department reports of the incident). This includes structure fires, vehicle fires, and outside fires. <br />Based on the fire density map, we identified hotspots located in the following areas: <br /> <br />• Area around Town Center Parkway (YMCA, Lino Lakes Assisted Living) <br />• Area around intersection of Lake Drive and Pine Drive (in Circle Pines) <br />• Lexington Park Area (in Circle Pines) <br />• Main Street between 20th Ave N and 21st Ave N (in Centerville) <br /> <br />All of these hotspots are within close reach of a current fire station. In terms of fire density specifically in <br />Lino Lakes, the area around Town Center Parkway is the only significant fire hotspot. The rest of the <br />hotspots are found outside the of the Lino Lakes city limits, in either Circle Pines or Centerville. <br /> <br />EMS incident density, as shown in Figure 5 on the following page, is typically very closely related to <br />both fire density and population density. The EMS density map shows that EMS hotspots exist in all of <br />the locations where fire hotspots were found, but that the EMS hotspots are all slightly larger in size. It is <br />apparent that high EMS density extends all along Interstate 35 from Station 1 (Circle Pines) all the way to <br />Station 2 (Lino Lakes). In addition, there are some EMS hotspots in areas where there are higher <br />population densities. The population density map shown earlier showed a significant population density <br />in the neighborhood around Birchwood Acres Park. We expected to find and did find high EMS demand <br />in this area. Using the EMS incident density map, we identified the following EMS hotspot areas: <br /> <br />• Interstate 35 from Station 1 to Station 2 <br />• Neighborhood around Birchwood Acres Park <br />• Main Street between 20th Ave N and 21st Ave N (Centerville) <br /> <br />The only hotspot not easily reachable from a CFD fire station is the southern portion of Lino Lakes. There <br />is a significant EMS hotspot in the area around Birchwood Acres Park and smaller hotspots along Birch <br />Street going east. <br /> <br /> <br />16
