What kind of information should we have on our maps?
You should have hydrants or drafting sites and addresses on the streets. We like to put the first addresses (both sides of the street) and the last addresses.
Are the maps to a scale?
No, we make our maps directional maps. By that we mean going from point A to point B. When you use a scale the maps (depending on the area) get very small and hard to read.
How do you get the information to put on the maps?
You supply the information, no one knows their own district like your own firefighters.
If they have to go collect information then they will learn a lot about their own fire district.
How will we receive the information on the maps?
We will draw the streets and put in any information that you can supply at that time, this will be Draft # 1. You will review Draft #1 and add or delete information. Then send Draft # 1 back to us and we will make the corrections as you indicated. We will then send you a Draft # 2 which you will review and make any minor corrections. Draft # 2 is usually 99% correct. We will ask you to sign off on the Draft # 2 and return it to us. Then we will print your maps with a high quality printer and send them to you.
