Lino Lakes, Minnesota – Fire Department Analysis Page 13 <br /> <br />Table 1. Total Response Time (First-Arriving Unit) by Incident Type, 2010-2013 <br /> <br />Station Location Analysis <br />In this section, we present an analysis of fire station locations using Geographic Information System <br />(GIS) software (ArcGIS 10). <br /> <br />Figure 7 shows the theoretical travel time from the three current CFD fire stations. Areas in dark green <br />can theoretically be reached in six minutes; light green areas in nine minutes; and areas in gray can be <br />reached in 14 minutes. According to NFPA 1720, rural areas should have a total response time (dispatch <br />to unit arrival) of less than 14 minutes, the suburban areas less than 10 minutes, and the urban and <br />metropolitan areas less than 9 minutes. Assuming four minutes for volunteers to respond to the station <br />and turnout, travel times should be around 10, 6, and 5-minutes for rural, suburban, and urban areas <br />respectively. <br /> <br />Metropolitan Areas – The metropolitan area in southeast Lino Lakes is not adequately covered from the <br />Circle Pines station within the necessary 5-minute travel time. Travel times are likely closer to 7 minutes <br />for this area. <br /> <br />Urban Areas – Most of the urban northwest is appropriately covered with a 5-minute drive time. There is <br />a very small area in the very northwest that may take a little longer to reach, but the standard allows 20 <br />percent of calls to exceed the response time standard. Because most of the areas of highest demand in <br />northwest Lino Lakes are near Station 1, Lino Lakes likely is meeting the NFPA 1720 standard for this <br />part of the city. There is also another “urban” area in the very southwest portion of Lino Lakes. This area <br />is adequately covered from the Circle Pines station. <br /> <br />Suburban Areas – Particularly problematic is the southern suburban area within Lino Lakes. Although a <br />6-minute travel time (assuming a 4-minute turnout time) is recommended by NFPA 1720 for this area <br />based on population density, it is clear that this travel time cannot be achieved with the current fire station <br />configuration. Travel times to this area are shown in gray, indicating travel times of 9 to 14 minutes can <br />be expected. <br /> <br /> <br />19
