The norms, side by side
Four national benchmarks for fire service cover are encoded, including two that disagree by design. A city is assessed against each, and the divergence is shown rather than resolved behind the scenes.

FireGridA city's fire cover, measured
Indian cities plan fire cover with straight-line circles around stations, and the national norms contradict each other. FireGrid maps a city's fire stations, shows how much of the city an engine can really reach within the response time, and lets a planner place a new station and watch coverage change.

How it is different
Planned the way the ground actually is
The city, not the district
Public map data often returns a district or metro area many times larger than the municipality. FireGrid assesses the municipal boundary and only the stations inside it, so coverage is not flattered by empty land.
Validated before it runs
The engine must reproduce the published research figures before it is allowed to assess a new city. Seven of seven are reproduced today.
Every station traced
Each station in the report is marked verified or approximate. Nothing is silently averaged, so a planner knows which numbers to check on the ground.
The headline finding
Better cover with zero new infrastructure
Assigning each incident to the nearest station, instead of the station it is administratively assigned to, improves coverage without building anything new. FireGrid makes that visible for a specific city.
From circles on a map to a city's real fire cover.

FAQ
Questions people ask
What is FireGrid?
FireGrid is a city-scale fire service planning tool from Siya Habitats. It maps a city's fire stations, shows how much of the city a fire engine can reach within the response time, lets a planner place a new station and see how coverage changes, and drafts a city assessment report.
Who is FireGrid for?
City fire services, municipal planners and smart city teams: anyone deciding where fire stations go and whether a city's fire cover meets the national norms.
Which norms does FireGrid assess a city against?
Four national benchmarks for fire service cover. Two of them disagree by design, so FireGrid assesses the city against each one and shows where they diverge, rather than quietly picking one.
How does FireGrid estimate reach?
In the current prototype, reach is estimated from the distance to each station with a correction for the road network. Full road routing and travel-time analysis are planned, not built.
What is the status of FireGrid?
FireGrid is a prototype. One of five planned analysis modules is built and validated against published research; hotspot, land-use and travel-time analysis are planned. A demo covers six cities, and its fire-density layer is illustrative.
