Data Usage and Qualifiers 17 /EPA9�Peat Marwick LLP 1 Study of Emergency Vehicle Potential Response Time in Rye Brook Background and Objectives The Village of Rye Brook(Village) is examining the possibility of relocating the fire station to one of five locations within the Village. This study was commissioned to ensure that all sections of the Village, including those areas expected to be further developed, will be adequately served by the new fire station(s). The role of KPMG was to independently verify the Rye Brook Fire Department's mileage and response time from each of the proposed fire station sites to ten key locations within the Village. Approach and Methodology Overall emergency response times include various components. The components of emergency response time are as follows: the time between observation of incident and notification of incident,the time required for processing incident information and dispatching the fire department,the turnout time associated with on-duty emergency personnel having to discontinue their present activity,properly attire themselves and board the vehicle,the travel time to the incident site and finally the time between arriving at the incident site and initiating appropriate action. Out of these components of the response time,the component most likely to be affected by the location of the fire house is the travel time to the incident. Accordingly,this study only validated the travel time component and not any other components of the total response time. It is assumed that the other elements of emergency response time would be constant regardless of the location of any firehouse. KPMG's project team included Chief Philip McLaughlin(Retired). Chief McLaughlin has over 35 years of professional experience with the fire department in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is frequently called upon nationally to evaluate emergency preparedness of fire/rescue departments throughout the country. Chief McLaughlin served as technical advisor to the project and evaluated the workplan, approach, methodology and final report. Our approach and work plan was based on a review of the Carroll Buracker& Associates, Inc. Fire Station Study for the Village,a visit to the Village that included visits to the proposed fire house sites and detailed discussions with Village Administrator Christopher Russo and Fire Chief Martin Drexelius. The following four tasks comprised KPMG's approach to independently validating the Village's emergency vehicle response time. Task 1: Validate the site locations. As part of this task,the project team validated the Rye Brook Fire Department's site locations with the Board of Trustees to confirm the appropriateness of both the site locations as well as the key village locations for purposes of conducting this response time analysis. The following locations were agreed upon: Peat Marwick LLP 2 Study of Emergency Vehicle Potential Response Time in Rye Brook Fire House Locations Specific Site Locations West William Street Port Chester Middle School (PCMS)/Philip Morris Red Roof Farm Port Chester High School(PCHS) Sleepy Hollow Road/North Ridge St. Rye Ridge Plaza Compost Site(King Street Site 1) Pine Ridge Park Blindbrook Estates(King Street Site 2) Arrowwood Conference Center Royal Executive Park United Cerebral Palsy(UCP) Blind Brook High School/Arbors Ridge Street School Brookridge Court Task 2: Confirm site routes. The Rye Brook Fire Chief developed maps highlighting the proposed route to be taken from each of the site locations to the key village locations. The fifty routes were considered by the Rye Brook Fire Chief to be the most expeditious to each site and would be the same as what a projected"run"would actually follow. KPMG reviewed these proposed routes and confirmed their reasonableness. These routes used by the project team are enclosed in the Appendix section of this report. Task 3: Confirm the different times of day for conducting the runs. The Rye Brook Fire Chief provided information on the different traffic patterns throughout the day. Based on these discussions,KPMG conducted the runs both during periods of the day when the village roads are most congested and at times of the day when traffic patterns are normal. Based on discussions with the Village Administrator and the Fire Chief, village roads are most congested during the early morning rush hour that coincides with the start of the school day and the afternoon rush hour that coincides with the end of the school day. Normal traffic conditions occur during the late morning and early afternoon parts of the day. The three separate times of the day during which runs were conducted were as follows: • The morning rush hour, from 7:30 am. until 9:30 a.m. • The late morning/early afternoon "down time," from 10:00 am. through 2:00 p.m. • The afternoon rush hour, from 2:00 p.m. through 4:00 p.m. Task 4: Develop a Test Plan/Perform the runs. A test plan was developed so that runs were evenly distributed with an equal amount of runs during the early morning rush hour, afternoon rush hours and the normal hours (i.e. late morning and early afternoon). This was necessary to capture the various traffic patterns an emergency response team might encounter throughout the day. The test plan consisted of conducting three runs(one for each time of the three potential times of the day), from each of the five potential firehouse locations to each of the ten potential fire incident sites. Based on the five site locations selected and the ten key potential fire incident sites identified, a total of 150 runs(50*3) Peat Marwick LLP 3 Study of Emergency Vehicle Potential Response Time in Rye Brook were conducted on a fire engine under the legal allowable speed limits of the roads(tests were limited to the legal speed limit for safety and liability reasons as there was no actual emergency). KPMG monitored the driver's speed for consistency. These tests were conducted utilizing actual Village fire engines. During the test runs, KPMG project personnel accompanied representatives of the Fire Department(who drove)and clocked the travel times to the various locations. For the purposes of this review, the travel time was defined as the time between starting the apparatus' engine and the time required to reach the main entrance of a pre-determined location,based on the route developed as part of the methodology. This included the driving distance and delays caused by traffic obstruction, signals, and geographic obstacles. Travel time ended when the apparatus arrived at the main entrance of the location and operations personnel were ready to commence operations. The travel time was recorded in two ways as follows: • The total elapsed time between the fire house site and the response location, and • The run time between the fire house site and the response location, adjusted for stoppages. The runs were conducted during the following days: • Friday,April Yd: 12 runs. All during the afternoon rush hour. • Monday,April 6te: 30 runs. There were 20 morning rush hour runs and 10 late morning/early afternoon runs. • Tuesday,April 7t°: 35 runs. There were 15 morning rush hour runs and 20 late morning/early afternoon runs. • Wednesday,April 8": 30 runs. There were 15 morning rush hour runs and 15 late morning/early afternoon runs. • Thursday,April V h: 23 runs. There were 5 late morning/early afternoon runs and 18 afternoon rush hour runs. • Friday,April 10': 20 runs. All afternoon rush hour runs. The mileage between the sites was recorded using the fire engine's odometer and was confirmed by KPMG personnel. All of the runs were conducted without sirens and adhering to traffic laws. Based on discussions with Rural Metro staff, actual emergency conditions(with sirens)could reduce the response time up to fifty percent. Actual response time therefore will be significantly lower than the times reported in this study. KPMG's Role as an Independent Evaluator KPMG is an internationally known independent consulting and accounting firm that has extensive experience nationally in conducting cost analyses and program operation studies of public entities. KPMG has conducted this review in an independent manner Peat Marwick LLP 4 Study of Emergency Vehicle Potential Response Time in Rye Brook according to a workplan developed by the Firm which we believe best addressed the pertinent issues and questions of the study. As members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants(AICPA), we are bound by a professional code of conduct to maintain independence and objectivity. Summary of Findings Based on analysis of the potential response time information only, the Sleepy Hollow Road/North Ridge Street site statistically had the best results as a location for a new firehouse. It had the lowest average results in mileage and response times to the ten response locations throughout the different times of day. The average response time from this site was three minutes and fifty four seconds(3:54), and the average distance between this site and the ten potential fire incident sites was 1.72 miles. Statistically, 95.5%of emergency responses from this site would be predicted to be within seven minutes and thirty seconds (7:30)-driving at normal speeds without sirens. The average response from Sleepy Hollow is almost a minute faster than any of the other sites. Blindbrook Estates site(King Street Site 2)had the second lowest time with an average of four minutes and forty five seconds(4:45),but the Compost Site (King Street Site 1) and Red Roof Farm site were close behind with responses of four minutes and fifty seven seconds(4:57) and five minutes four seconds(5:04),respectively. They were also close together in terms of average distance between a potential firehouse location and a potential fire incident site. Only 0.08 miles separated the average distance between these firehouse sites and the potential fire incident sites. Statistically,for the Blindbrook Estates site, 95.5%of emergency responses from this site would be predicted within ten minutes and seven seconds(10:07) - again driving without sirens. Statistically,the worst results are for the current fire house is West William Street. The average response time was six minutes and nineteen seconds(6:19) and the average distance between this site and the ten potential fire incident sites was mileage was 2.18 miles. That is more than two minutes slower than Sleepy Hollow's average response time and almost a half mile in terms of average distance between a potential firehouse location and the ten potential fire incident sites. The Village of Rye Brook's contract with Rural Metro stipulates that response time to incident sites will be within 4 minutes and 30 seconds. The Insurance Services Organization(ISO)has established some general station location standards. These are based on road-travel distances. The ISO Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (Edition 6, 1980) states the following in item#560 (p.22), "Distribution of Companies: The built-upon area of the city should have a first due engine company within 1.5 miles and a ladder-service company within 2.5 miles." The National Fire Protection Agency(NFPA)Handbook indicates that first due apparatus should be located Peat Marwick LLP 5 Study of Emergency Vehicle Potential Response Time in Rye Brook within two miles of residential areas; within one and a half miles of commercial areas; and within one mile of locations where required fire flow exceeds 5,000 gpm. Variations in these distances may be specified; the distances acting as surrogates for travel times. Assuming an average speed of 45 miles/hour and conformance to the NFPA guidelines that first due apparatus should be located within two miles of a residential area, will result in a travel time to a residential incident site of 2 minutes and 40 seconds (2.4). If the average speed is 40 miles/hour instead of 45 miles/hour, the NFPA guidelines will mean that travel time to a residential incident site will now be 3 minutes (3.0). How to Read the Data Charts There are five tables which contain the results of the study. The first chart in Table 1 is the distance between the proposed fire house sites and the ten locations, with the fire house sites on the vertical Y-axis and the ten locations on the horizontal X-axis. The distance between the site and location is recorded in miles. The second table, Table 2, is the sum and analysis of all the runs. The fire house sites appear on the Y-axis with a run time, wait time and total time. The `Run Time' row contains the total amount of time that transpired while the apparatus was in motion for each of the ten designated sites during each of the times of the day. The `Wait Time' represents the amount of time that transpired while the apparatus was stopped in traffic. The `Total' is the sum of those two amounts. On the horizontal X-axis, the `Mean' is the average response time from the fire location to the sites during all times of day. The `Median' is the mid-point between all of the response times. The `Std. Dev.' is the standard deviation in responses from the mean. The '95.5% Confidence' is the confidence interval that 95.5% of all emergency responses from that location will be within the time listed. Table 3, 4 and 5 are the tables with the raw data for the morning rush hour, late morning/early afternoon down time and afternoon rush hour, respectively. There are two charts for each table. The first (A) is the raw data and the second(B) is the analysis of that data. For the raw data, the fire house locations appear vertically in rows on the Y- axis and the site locations appear horizontally in columns on the X-axis. The `Run Time' row contains the amount of time that transpired while the apparatus was in motion for each of the ten designated sites. The `Wait Time' row represents the amount of time that transpired while the apparatus was stopped in traffic. The `Total' is the sum of those two amounts. The second chart is the analysis of that data. Again, the fire house locations and times appear vertically in rows on the Y-axis but the X-axis contains five columns of measurement. The first column, `Total,' is the cumulative amount of time between all ten sites. The `Mean' is the average response time from the fire location to the ten sites. The `Median' is the mid-point between all of the response times. The `SD' column is the K Peat Marwick LLP 6 Study of Emergency Vehicle Potential Response Time in Rye Brook standard deviation of the mean. The column `95.5%Confidence' is the confidence interval that 95.5%of all emergency responses from that location will be within the time listed.

KPMG notes that variances in traffic and weather and other factors may potentially produce different results and conclusions other than the ones drawn in this report. KPMG's findings are based only on the observations of the time and conditions during which the workplan was executed. KPMG makes no guarantees or warranties that any of the response time results cited would be achieved in the event of an actual emergency. KPMG assumes no liability as to the use of this data with regard to Village decision making and bears no responsibility with regard to potential negative outcomes in any emergency situations. KPMG is providing observed response time data as input to the Village's decision making with regard to its selection of a new firehouse location. KPMG is not recommending any particular site. Site selection involves many other additional factors beyond potential response time. A number of sites with potential response time within a certain range of acceptability may all be good candidates for location of a firehouse. Consideration of the additional factors beyond pure potential response time may result in a site which did not have the absolute shortest response time being considered the best candidate.
