GIS Mapping
data-driven insight for stronger communities
McGrath Consulting provides GIS mapping services designed specifically for municipalities and public safety agencies. We convert operational data into clear, visual analysis that supports informed decision-making for City Administrators, Fire Chiefs, and Public Safety Leaders.
Standard of Coverage & Response Time Analysis: GIS mapping provides an objective foundation for evaluating your Standard of Coverage. We analyze response times, call density, incident history, population trends, and travel-time performance under real-world conditions including traffic and weather scenarios. The result is defensible, data-driven insight into where service levels are strong and where improvements are needed.
Fire Station Planning & Optimization: Community growth requires proactive planning. We model station locations, relocation scenarios, and future development impacts to identify optimal coverage solutions and support long-term capital planning decisions.
Community Risk & Incident Mapping: By layering incident data, demographics, and risk factors, we identify hotspots, vulnerable populations, and demand patterns to strengthen Community Risk Assessment and Reduction (CRR) efforts.
Volunteer Turnout, Hydrant Mapping & Resource Deployment: We provide spatial analysis of:
- Volunteer residence and turnout reliability
- Hydrant and water source coverage
- Apparatus placement and deployment scenarios
- Geographic response gaps
These insights support smarter staffing, infrastructure planning, and resource allocation.
