This book is about fire department deployment--deciding how many firehouses and fire companies a department should have, where they should be located, which companies should be dispatched as incidents occur, and how and when to relocate them. Some topics discussed have national, and even international, implications. Others concentrate on administrative and operational concerns in local government, with particular reference to fire departments. At the finest level of detail, the book describes practical procedures for data collection, the mathematical formulation of deployment models, and related aspects of analysis.
