In 2004, Citygate conducted a review of the current arrangement for fire protection services within the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota, including a review of existing City Fire Department performance expectations for Citywide fire station, staffing, and apparatus needs. This project included assistance with the purchase and implementation of the FireViewTM deployment analysis software program, with coaching and advising Fire Department staff in deployment analysis. The culmination of the study effort was a written report with statistical and map-based exhibits justifying fire services deployment based on the risks and community expectations in Minneapolis.
