In this workflow, you will learn how to configure the Fire Service Maps solution to meet specific needs in your organization.
Configure Fire Service Maps project
The Fire Service Maps solution includes an ArcGIS Pro project and sample data you can use to explore the sample data schema and a set of tools. When you are ready to configure the project, a series of tasks are included to help you review the data, make modifications to the maps and layers, load your data, and set the data sources to your data.
- Start ArcGIS Pro and open the Fire Service Maps project.
- On the View tab, in the Windows group, click Catalog, and click Catalog Pane.
- In the Catalog pane, expand the Tasks folder, and double-click the Fire Service Maps task item.
- In the Task Pane, click the Configure Fire Service Maps task group to expand the collection of tasks.
Review schema
The Fire Service Maps project contains two geodatabases.
- Fire Service Maps Sample.gdb contains sample data for learning how to use the tools.
- Fire Service Maps.gdb contains empty layers fields that can be used to create Fire Run Books and Fire Station Wall Maps with your data.
Use this task to review the geodatabase schema, layers, and fields to determine what changes you will need to make to use your data. See Fields, domains, and subtypes to learn more about how to edit the feature layer schema.
Define spatial reference
The Fire Service Maps.gdb is an empty geodatabase with the same schema and a spatial reference set to Web Mercator. This geodatabase can be used to define your spatial reference and load your data.
Use this task to define the spatial reference for your data. See Specify a coordinate system to learn more about coordinate systems for your data.
Load data
After you have completed any necessary schema modifications, you can add your data layers to the map and load them into the empty Fire Service Maps geodatabase by following the steps in the Load data task. This task contains steps to load your data into the following layers:
| Layer name | Description |
|---|---|
| Site Addresses | Used to label building addresses in the fire service maps |
Roads | Used to label road names and address ranges along a road. It is also used to create the street index report. |
|
Fire Response Restrictions |
Used to display the location of access restrictions such as gates, narrow roads, and blocked roads that would delay or preclude a fire truck in response to an incident |
| Fire Map Index | Used to create individual pages in Fire Run Books |
| Response Areas | Used to display administrative and response districts |
As you load your data into each layer, you will be given the option to use the field map capabilities to map your data fields to the predefined fields in the empty feature layers.
Set data sources
Use this task to replace the sample data with your data for each layer in the Fire Service Maps project.
