The Cincinnati Fire Department's journey to distinction as the nation's first professional fire department began in the early 1800s, soon after Losantiville (later renamed Cincinnati) was founded. The department grew steadily from bucket brigade to volunteer corps; in 1853, an ordinance passed by Cincinnati City Council established the nation's first organized, paid fire department. Cincinnati provided the pattern for fire departments across the United States for the next 50 years and was the first to use successful horse-drawn steam engines to fight fires. The city of Cincinnati was home to the Ahrens-Fox manufacturing company, one of the most famous names in firefighting apparatus in the 1900s, placing the department on the cutting edge. Today the Cincinnati Fire Department continues its tradition as one of the premier urban firefighting systems. For more than 150 years, members have served their city and beyond.

"Fire station location models use distance from demand nodes to measure service accessibility and to make fire station siting decisions. In addition, the Insurance Services Office and the National Fire Protection Agency set response standards for Fire Departments in units of distance and set home insurance rates based upon adherence to these distance standards. This analysis shows that straight-line distance and shortest network path distance are only weakly correlated with actual response time (R2=0.22 and R2=0.37 respectively). Instead, response time variation is shown to result largely from the number of corners an emergency vehicle must turn to reach an incident. Together, corner incidence and journey length account for 92% of the variation in response times. These findings call for a review of existing distance-based location models and indicate a need to develop an algorithm to efficiently detect corners on a network in a GIS. This paper also explores the influence of socio-demographic (e.g., racial composition of neighborhood, wealth of neighborhood) and behavioral (e.g., 911 call frequency, false alarm frequency) variables on the speed at which emergency services respond. The analysis indicates that the influence of such variables on response time is insignificant; that the Fire Department in Cincinnati responds equitably without regard for the socio-demographic or behavioral characteristics of a neighborhood. Implications of these results are presented for policy and future research"--Abstract.
