Philadelphia Fire Department "Box" map available?
I'm curious, does anyone know if there is a map available anywhere online (or elsewhere) of the Philadelphia fire "boxes" showing the area perimeter and box number? I've searched extensively and can't find anything.

Once unzipped, you'll find an xls file containing extensive information.

Someone so inclined could take that spreadsheet and use this GIS map to fill out the BC/Engine/Ladder companies assigned to the boxes.

I have started using the data provided to create a Philadelphia City Map show Box numbers and locations. Locations shown on it will be in the middle of the intersection as I have no info showing what corner of the intersection the Box was located. Boxes assigned to Buildings will be shown on that Building. (I.E. - Independence Hall.). The Icon I used will be a lightning bolt with a Red circle background. That is the best one I could find. Fire Dept. Response will be shown when you click on the Icon when known. If anyone has any more info that would help in making this map, Please contact me. With over 6,000 boxes, This map will take some time to complete. When it is done, I will post a link here to share. THANKS...
