Title: Fire Maps
Post by: Towntalk on June 20, 2013, 01:00:31 AM
Greg, I realize that you are very busy, but would it be possablefor you to develop a fire map for Youngstown such as the onewe have for murders?

This map could be developed into two parts, with one devoted to arson fires since this is a major problem for the city.

It should also help the various block watch groups.Thanks Greg.

In the past I had made monthly maps of fires in the city but like you said, that was back when I had much more free time. If I had better access to all of the fire call information like addresses and type of calls, I could probably put something together again but for now time and data are limiting factors to making this a reality. There are some arson fires listed on the RAIDS online map for Youngstown but not all structures are listed there.
