Fire Protection Water Sources for Nantucket
PubblicoFire hydrants on Nantucket Island are concentrated in the urban center, but many other areas are left unprotected, and alternative water source records are incomplete. A robust platform that incorporates all water source data could benefit the Nantucket Fire Department (NFD). This project aimed to recommend a mobile firefighting application for the NFD, locate and characterize water sources, and make recommendations to promote fire safety. We recommended a user-friendly application that was best suited for the NFD’s unique challenges. We also identified and mapped over 800 pools as potential alternative water sources and over 2,000 homes unprotected by hydrants. With this data, we recommended sprinkler regulation and water main infrastructure upgrades.
