Understand sample incident data

The Fire Incident Maps solution includes a series of sample incident files that are typically derived from a Computer Aided Dispatch or Records Management System in xls or CSV format. Each incident file contains attributes that are unique to the incident type and sample data for the City of Naperville, Illinois.

Each incident file below can be found in the SampleData folder:

File Name Description
FireIncidents.csv The location of fire incidents, or calls for service, for a given time period.

The incident files represent the most common types of incidents, but are not the only incident types supported. You can process additional incident types for your organization if you have the following:

  • An incident file in xls or CSV file format and a corresponding feature class in the Local Government Information Model.
  • The incident files and feature classes include a unique identifier; and address or coordinate values fields.
  • The field names in the xls or CSV file match the field names in the feature class. Note, the Incident Mapping tools will only copy data from the incident files to the corresponding feature class if the fields match.

Finally, a pre-populated incident feature class is included in the Local Government Information Model (FireOperations feature dataset). Each time the Import and Publish Incident tool is executed, incident data is added to the incident feature class and published to either ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS for Server or ArcGIS Enterprise.
