Brockton Fire Station Response Times

By analyzing the service areas of Brockton fire stations this map shows the average response time areas for the city. Green indicates a 5-minute response time. Yellow indicates a 10-minute response time. Orange indicates a 15-minute response time. And finally red indicates a 20 minute response time. The map on the left shows that a vast majority of the city is within the 5-minute response window with the remaining falling into the 10-minute response window. the map on the right indicates the same data processed if there was a need to close down one of the fire stations. I chose the centrally located Fire station because even with its removal the response times remain mostly within the 5-minute window.
