Midterm Project

Fire Department Calls Analysis

Story

Narrative

For this project, we will be using Fire Department Calls for Service dataset. More information about this dataset and how it was used can be found here.

Our focus will be on particular neighborhoods or zip codes. Our team was interested in how different locations correspond to the type of calls. We will explore different aspects in respect to location. In specific, we are curious about the number of alarms, the time to arrive on scene, station areas, and the different type of calls. In order to make sure all visualizations follow a similar color scheme, our inspiration for color will be based on the Fire Color Pallete. In essence, the aim of our visualizations is to tell the story of fire department responses for various areas in San Francisco. Hopefully these visualizations will be able to help the Fire Department determine what steps they are needed to improve their calls to service.
