Abstract:
This dataset contains 2018 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_feb13.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: https://apps.usfa.fema.gov/registry/)
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.

Process_Description:
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 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;
http://apps.usfa.fema.gov/census/

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.

GeoPlan updated the gc_firestat_feb13.shp layer in 2017-2018, the updates were 
completed on May 22nd, 2018.

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.  Facilities that are proposed to be built but 
have not yet been built are marked with a "FNV" in the FLAG field.

During the update process, several facilities were added while several facilities were
moved or deleted.

Shapefiles from Florida Department of Emergency Management (FDEM) and 
Homeland Security Infrastructure Program (HSIP) were used to add new facilities 
and verify existing facilities.  FDEM fire stations was downloaded by Kate and is 
saved in her directory.  HSIP emergency facility data was downloaded by Sam and 
is saved in his directory.

Websites used to add new facilities and verify existing facilities including the 
following:

-https://apps.usfa.fema.gov/registry/
-http://firedepartmentdirectory.com/location/State-Fire-Departments.aspx?
state=Florida
-http://fire-departments.org/fire-department/florida-fire-departments

Because GC firestations has not been updated since 2013, it does not follow the 
current GC layer structure.  The following changes were made to update the layer to
2018 standards:

-Added PARCELID, OWNER, DATASOURCE, MGRS, and ACRES
-Deleted OBJECTID STATUS, SCORE, SIDE, MATCH_ADDR, AUTOID and 
USNG_FL_1K
-Renamed SOURCE as FSOURCE

Before adding the FDEM facilities, GeoPlan made the following changes:

-Reprojected from WGS84 to Albers
-Deleted OBJECTID, HAZUSID, NOTES, EDITDATE, EDITORNAME, LONGLAT,
SURGE_ZONE, FLOOD_ZONE, PARCELID, EFCLASS, USNG, OWNERSHIP 
and EVAC_ZONE fields
-Renamed the ZIP field as ZIPCODE, X as LONG_DD, Y as LAT_DD, and 
FACILITY_T as TYPE

Before adding the HSIP facilities, GeoPlan made the following changes:

-Reprojected from FDEP_Albers_HARN to FGDL Albers
-Deleted OBJECTID, EVAC_ZONE, SURGE_ZONE, FLOOD_ZONE, EDITDATE 
and USNG
-Renamed the ZIP field as ZIPCODE, X as LONG_DD, Y as LAT_DD and 
FACILITY_T as TYPE

Before adding the facilities from miscellaneous websites, GeoPlan did the following:
-Converted CSV file to shapefile using x,y points
-Defined the projection as Albers

Merged the MISC, HSIP, FDEM, and GC facilities shapefiles.

Recalculated LAT_DD, LONG_DD, GCID and MGRS

Updated FGDLAQDATE and calculated UPDATE_DAY, FSOURCE, and DATASOURCE for newly added facilities

Joined 2017 Parcels based on location and then populated PARCELID, OWNER 
and ACRES fields.

Populated OP_CLASS and OPERATING fields based on information given in the 
NAME field.

Upcased all fields. Populated DESCRIPT based on NAME. 

Saved as gc_firestat_may18.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
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

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
