Fire Suppression
Geographical Information System Team
The Fresno Fire Department Geographical Information System Team is responsible for ensuring all department maps are up to date and accurate. As the community continues to experience unprecedented growth, the department relies on the critical services provided by the team to ensure a fast response to emergency calls. The team takes all forms of non-scaled data stored on hand drawn sheets of paper and converts them to scaled, accurate, and geographically referenced digitized data. This creates a geographical data base, which can be accessed and updated. The team utilizes these new layers of geographical data to print out accurate, oriented map books that are carried on every fire apparatus.
