Display City of Tulsa Fire Department incidents on a map.

    • Polls City of Tulsa Fire Department incident data every 1 minute.
    • The map will center and zoom to the newest incident and display as a red map marker.
    • The 10 previous incidents are displayed as yellow map markers.
    • All older incidents are displayed as blue map markers.

Deployment: http://tfdincidents.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com

There are 4 options that may be added to the URL as parameters to override default settings

1) recent=number - change the number of recent incidents (yellow markers) displayed; valid values are 1 thru 20; default=10

http://tfdincidents.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/index.html?recent=7

2) zoomTo=boolean - when false, turns off automatic panning and zoom to a new incident; default=true

http://tfdincidents.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/index.html?zoomTo=false

3) filter=text - comma delimited keywords/phrases to filter incidents; keywords are not case sensitive; do not add unnecessary spaces/blanks and no spaces/blanks next to commas

http://tfdincidents.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/index.html?filter=Fire

http://tfdincidents.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/index.html?filter=fire,Odor,Motor%20Vehicle

For a phrase like 'Motor Vehicle' you will have to manually enter the equivalent of a space in the url string between 'Motor' and 'Vehicle.  A space is equal to %20

4) baseLayer=number - defines which base map to display on startup

               0 = Esri OSM (default)
               1 = Basic OSM
               2 = Esri World Imagery

Tested on macOS & Windows 10:

Chrome, Brave, Edge 
Opera   - Dev Console indexedDB not displaying any data (macOS only)
        - Will not display Grayscale map layer (Win10 only)
Firefox - Dev Console indexedDB "No data present for selected host" (macOS only)

Notes/Comments:

  • Everything is executed client-side thus there is no web server.

  • As incidents become available, the data is added to IndexedDB. Subsequently the creation of a heat map uses data available in IndexedDB.

  • I do not have information on how/when the json file is updated on the server. I have seen the JSON file update a couple of times in a few minutes to the other extreme where it didn't update for over an hour. Please keep this in mind when viewing incidents on the map.

With regards to the JSON data:

  • JSON Data - Incidents.Incident[x].Vehicles.Vehicle - if 1 vehicle it is an object of key, value pairs; if greater than 1 it is an array of key, value pairs

  • JSON Data - Incidents.Incident[x].Vehicles.Vehicle - if 1 vehicle it has been observed at times that VehicleID is null

This is not a real-time map display.
