Prototypes

Our prototypes are divided into a few different types depending on their function:

Prototype explaning original dataset in order to give more context to our project

Prototypes showing our particular interest or focus

Prototype Explaning Original Data

This visualization shows the trend of total number of calls rising through the years 2014-2018. It simply helps us see the rising trend on number of calls which may correlate with the increasing number of wildfires.

This visualization shows the monthly trends on number of calls for the last 5 years. It helps us see which months see more calls than other through the years. From this visualization, we can see that our assumption of "September-November" as peaks for fire-calls might be mislead.

Prototypes For Explaning Focus

This visualization shows the types of calls made during the months of September-November over the last 5 years per each SF neighborhood. It allows for us to understand which types of calls are more prevalent, as well as which neighborhoods are more prone to fires.

This visualization shows the proportion of Fire-Related calls vs. Non-Fire-Related calls made during the months of September-November of the past 5 years. It shows that fire-related calls in San Francisco are actually a small subset of the overall number of calls made to the SF Fire Department.
