To spatially analyze Fire Department accident data in the city of Seaside, California from the dates March 25, 2015 to March 30, 2015. The accidents will be interpreted in groups based on land type in which they occurred. The four land types investigated in this project are “developed – open space”, “developed – low intensity”, “developed – medium intensity”, and “developed – high intensity.” The findings of this project could be useful in determining resource allocation between land use areas of different numbers of accidents.
