* The figures above assume within reasonable means the average speed of travel for a Fire Truck or Aid Car on call is 60 mph

~ Google Earth Estimated Travel Time 6 minutes 6 minutes 10 minutes 7 minutes 8 minutes

* Google Earth Travel Time is estimated based on the same route as both ETA (Aid and Fire). Google Earth 'directions' was used between closest Firestation and School location. * These are the 5 longest ETAs between staffed fire stations and proximal schools in Kitsap County. All other staffed fire stations were within 2 miles and had an ETA < 4 minutes

ATTRIBUTE SELECTION (Fire Station layer) "STAFFED" = 'S' AND NOT "DISTRICT" = 'FEDERAL' (25/47 fire stations within criteria) LOCATION SELECTION new selection from schools that are within 10560 feet (2 miles) of the selected staffed and non federal fire stations (67/73 Schools within criteria) OPEN Schools layer ATTRIBUTE TABLE - Switch selection, 6/73, removed one selection from the attribute table as it was within 10560 feet (2 miles) ROUTE DISTANCE with MEASUREMENT TOOL calculated with measurement tool distances in feet (then converted to Miles) schools fitting selection criteria. They were accurately outside 2 mile range as tested alternative method using PROXIMITY tool to define 2 mile radius as seen in top insert.
