STATION PLANNING GUIDE ➡️ https://t.co/rmdlOVWPvc
PART I explores situations where stations are not actually helping your response performance, but are in fact hindering it.
Part II looks at how to do station planning well.

Strathcona County's two stations couldn't keep up with 20%+ population growth. They used Darkhorse to find the optimal location for a third.
A year after it opened, actual performance was within 1% of what the model predicted five years earlier.
16 municipalities. 5-7 new stations to build. Everyone had an opinion on where.
United Fire used Darkhorse to model every scenario, then went mayor by mayor with the numbers. All 16 aligned on one regional plan, saving millions in capital costs.
Station decisions shape response times for 30+ years and carry millions in cost. The analytics get complex fast.
We've distilled our framework into a practical guide for the field.

Odessa's dispatch had 1,500+ call types. 3+ min delays before units rolled.
Darkhorse Response helped them simplify to 5 codes and cut 2 min off call handling. An estimated 97 more lives saved per year.
Same gain through new stations? $100M+.
Darkhorse Emergency will be at the CPSE Excellence Conference this week.
