Abstract:
Fire response districts may be used in conjuction with other quality of life data to create information packages for use in economic development. This information is important to potential new businesses for identifying fire response districts and responding fire stations for both the site of the business and for potential employee habitation. This data set was created in conjunction with the Department of Emergency Services. The Department of Emergency Services contacted individual localities and had them send the fire response district data to VEDP. Data was received in ESRI shapefile formats, ArcInfo export file format, CAD file format and as hard copy maps which were digitized in ArcView and ArcGIS.
Purpose:
The purpose of this dataset is to provide a geographic representation of the location of each fire response district in the state of Virginia. This data, combined with infrastructure, utility, environmental sensitivity, labor, demographics and quality of life data are used to select sites and buildings for industrial development based on a prospect's needs.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The fire response district coverage was created from data received from individual localities and PDCs. The data was sent to each PDC for quality assurance. Data will be updated as needed.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
These data are logically consistent, though no tests were performed. Points are positionally accurate.
Completeness_Report:
All active fire response districts in the Commonwealth of Virginia are believed to be as complete as possible based on information obtained at the time of data creation.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The horizontal positional accuracy meets 1:24,000 national map accuracy standards.

Source_Contribution:
Fire response districts were digitzed from hard copy data sources on top of USGS DRGs. Quality assurance check maps were made on top of DRGs and sent to PDCs for quality checks.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Individual localities and Planning District Commissions sent hard copy maps, ArcInfo export files, shapefiles or CAD files with fire response districts indicated. Hard copy maps were digitized in ArcView or ArcGIS 8.1 on top of USGS DRGs. ArcInfo export files, shapefiles and CAD files were imported into ArcInfo covers or shapefiles, reprojected into the Partnership's projection and put into the fire response district coverage.
