- Abstract:
-
This dataset contains 2013 Fire Department and Rescue Station facilities information for the State of Florida. It is a combination of fire department and rescue station addresses from 60 different sources. This dataset contains fields denoting the physical address, and contact information for fire and rescue stations located in Florida. This data is meant to be used for planning purposes only and is not intended to represent a 100% inventory of fire and rescue stations. Fire and rescue station locations that have been verified are marked with the letter V in the FLAG field. This dataset is an update to the gc_firestat_feb08.shp layer.
- Purpose:
-
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems
for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
PLEASE NOTE: EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT facilities can now be found in
the new gc_govbuild layer.
About the National Fire Department Census:
(from USFA website: <http://apps.usfa.fema.gov/census/>)
The National Fire Department Census Database provides an online address
listing of U.S. fire departments registered with USFA as well as some basic
information about each fire department. The purpose of the census, which is
ongoing, is to create a national database for use by USFA to conduct special
studies that will guide program decision-making and to improve direct
communication with individual fire departments. Our colleagues in the fire
protection and prevention communities, allied professions and the general
public will be able to use the database for similar purposes.
What is Geocoding?
Geocoding is term used to describe the act of address matching. Geocoding
is the process of finding a geographic location (x, y point) for an address
(such as street number and name, city, state, and ZIP Code) on a map.
Geocoding is based off the typical address scheme for the US, in which one
side of the street contains even house numbers while the other side of the
street contains odd house numbers.
The geocoding process uses an algorithm to find the geographic location
of addresses. First, a street segment is identified using the zip code and
street name. Next, the geographic location of the address is matched using
the building number to determine how far down the street and on which side
of the street the building is located.
Geocoding Accuracy
The locational accuracy of geocoded addresses may vary from urban to rural
areas due to the algorithm used to generate the geographic locations of
addresses. The algorithm assumes that the size of parcels are equivalent
along a road route. This assumption tends to be more consistent in urban
areas, where the size of parcels vary less than in rural areas.
Consequently, the results of geocoded addresses in urban areas are usually
more reliable than those in rural areas.
For example, the locational accuracy of rural addresses can be slightly
off because some parcels along a rural route may be 15 acres while others
may be 2.5 acres, but the geocoding algorithm assumes that the addresses
are distributed evenly along the route.

-
The GeoPlan Center performed the following steps in order to create the 2008
statewide fire station and rescue stations data layer.
46 Different Sources Comprise the Fire Stations Dataset.
The following Sources were either reprojected to the FGDL Albers NAD83 HPGN
map projection or if no spatial data existed they were geocoded to a statewide
2007 TelAtlas Streets dataset.
Once the point sources were created via geocoding or reprojected existing point
data they were merged into one statewide layer.
Record (facility) duplications were removed by manually viewing and editing the
statewide layer's attribute table for each of the 67 counties. Where record
duplication existed source information of previously corrected FDOT Districts and
Regional Planning Council data took preference followed by, County data, and
finally geocoded data.
Below are the data Sources as described in the Source field in the attribute table.

The DTS data was combined to create a district wide layer called: firestat_d5_jan07.shp
The firestat_d5_jan07.shp was added to the statewide layer.
A few records were not added to the statewide layer because of the following:
AUTOID
305 and 316 are duplicates.
292 was removed because it was a fire college.
370 and 377 are duplicates and both are incorrect - 363 was kept because it is the true Astor fire
station as verified by Lake county fire rescue website
249 is a duplicate of 243
250 is an incorrect address as verified by the Volusia County fire department website
378 was removed because it was not verified by county website / gis data.
364 was removed because it was in the wrong location and was a duplicate of 348
386 was removed because the location does not exist
329 was removed because it was not verified by the county website / gis data.
376 was removed because it was not verified by the county website / gis data.
464 is a duplicate of 459
453 and 467 are duplicates and both are incorrect, as verified by county fire department website
463 was removed because it was not verified by the county website / gis data.
88 is a duplicate of 51
87 was removed because it was not verified by the county website / gis data.
89 was removed because it was not verified by the county website / gis data.
104 is a duplicate of 103
90 was removed because it was a fire college.
97 was removed because it was a sheriff's Office.
92 was removed because Orange County Fire Rescue took over for Rural Metro Ambulance.
Wednesday, March 19, 2008 12:51:15 AM
WINTER PARK -- The Orange County Commission voted unanimously Tuesday to end its ties
with Rural Metro Ambulance.
Beginning Oct. 1, Orange County Fire Rescue will take over all transporting services for Rural Metro.
95 was removed because it is the Walt Disney Memorial Cancer Institute at Florida Hospital.
91 was removed because it is the Orlando Regional Medical Center.
94 was removed because it was not verified by the county and city websites.
The firestat_d5_jan07.shp AUTOID numbers can be found in the new statewide
layer via the field OLD_AUTOID.

The NCFRPC data and the NEFRPC data had been combined previously to
create the dataset layer firestat_d2_jun06.shp
The firestat_d2_jun06.shp layer was a polygon layer.
The polygon layer was converted to points and then joined to the statewide layer.
The old AUTOID numbers of the firestat_d2_jun06.shp layer can be found in
the new statewide layer in the OLD_AUTOID field.
Only one point did not transfer over.
AUTOID 3 from the firestat_d2_jun06.shp layer was a duplication of

***********************************************************
GeoPlan updated the gc_firestat_feb08.shp layer in 2013,
the updates were completed on February 8th, 2013.
During this process GeoPlan used imagery, parcels, and
Google Street View in order to verify as many facility locations
as possible.
Once the facility location was verified the point
was moved to the roof of the building and the FLAG field was
marked with a "V", non-verified facilities have been marked
with a "NV" in the FLAG field.
During the update process several facilities were added while
several facilities were moved or deleted.
Some Websites used to add new facilities include the following;

Additionally GeoPlan visited many county and city fire department and rescue station
websites in order to acquire the most up to date address information.
Next GeoPlan reviewed the table for attribute errors and updated
the USNG_FL_1K field.
Next GeoPlan added and populated the GCID field.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
