Fire Service Maps can be used to produce wall maps and run books that are placed in a fire station or apparatus to assist with response activities.
In this workflow, you'll learn how to configure the Fire Service Maps solution to meet specific needs in your organization.
Tip:
As you configure the solution, record the configurations or alterations you make with each version in a change log. This information will be valuable if you upgrade to a new version and need to evaluate the effort required.Configure the 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, and load your data.
To create a comprehensive street index in PDF format for the Fire Run Book, you'll need to install ReportLab, a third-party Python library. The street index allows you to look up an address or street name and find the correct map page in a Fire Run Book.
