<![CDATA[Urban fires, prevalent in densely populated areas, pose significant risks by increasing deaths and injuries. Fire departments must navigate challenging access routes to manage these incidents effectively. This study analyzes the service coverage of fire stations in East Jakarta, considering road network, width, speed, and travel time. The study utilizes secondary data from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Fire and Rescue Service, road network data from local government sources, and traffic data from Google Maps. Additionally, a field survey was conducted to validate road conditions and accessibility. Using graph theory-based network analysis, the study assesses connectivity, flows, directions, and destinations to determine the coverage extent. The optimal route, defined by road class, width, and condition, exhibits the lowest impedance. Google Maps’ estimated travel times, incorporating traffic conditions, are used to assess travel times, with a 5-minute travel time set as the standard barrier for coverage. Results reveal that the current service coverage of East Jakarta fire stations is only 66.57%. This disparity indicates an inadequate number of fire stations relative to their required service areas. The findings underscore the need for strategic placement of additional fire stations and potential improvements in road infrastructure to enhance response times. Traffic dynamics often affect travel times, demonstrating that shorter distances do not always result in faster arrivals according to real-time data.]]>
