Info on Jakarta Indonesia - population approx 10 million. -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakarta
Jakarta is a special province (or whatever). It is comprised of 5
Districts - Central, East, South, West, and North. The districts are
subdivided into subdistricts and villages. The fire department follows
the exact same administrative scheme. There are approx 20 fire
stations per District. So there are approx 100 fire stations in total.
The vast majority of fire stations all look the same. They have 2 open
bays, maybe 1 or 2 rooms on the left, and a half story above, Each
station has 1 pumper. The only large stations are the District HQs and
the sub district HQs. The larger stations typically have 4 bays or
more.
Therefore - overall - there are approx 80 small stations and 20 larger
stations. Maybe half of the larger stations have an aerial truck and a
rescue truck. I think they usually have 3 or 4 people per pumper. They
run 3 shifts. Maybe 24 hours on duty followed by 48 hours off duty.
The city is essentually flat - and 90% of the buildings are 1 or 2
story homes and commercial properties. I suspect that they do not have
any community water systems - except perhaps downtown. Power lines do
run down the main streets.
Some building have exterior mounted air conditioners. There are
probably no heating systems.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakarta#Water_supply - I was right
about the water - maybe just 20% coverage - no mention of sewerage -
there are open waterways along some roads in some neighborhoods)
Many of the main streets are just 1 lane in each direction. In many
residential neighborhoods, the main streets are just 1.5 lanes wide.
The saving grace is that very few people have cars. The vast majority
drive motorscooters and small motorcycles.
School kids all wear uniforms. IIRC it is red dresses for girls and
blue pants for boys. Lots of people make a living selling items on the
street. There are very few convience stores like in the USA. I take
that back. There are stores scattered throughout the residential
areas. But they are very small and I dont really know what they sell.
Maybe just cellphones and Bibles. There are not a heck of alot of
churches or schools. There are very few playgrounds.
Most homes seem to have stucco walls and tile roofs, so there is
little chance of a conflagration. (Except in the squatter colonies
which have homes made of plywood.) Many homes and businesses are
surrounded by walls and fences.
I dont think they run medevac ops. Finding a LZ probably would be
tough. Landing on the expressways might be their best bet. Traffic is
reportedly horrendous with 30 to 40 minutes being the average response
time for ambulances. Most people probably take taxis to hospitals.
I have no idea if the FD runs 1 centralized dispatch office or if they
have 5 dispatch offices. There is just 1 telephone number for fire.
The last 10 years or so has seen many new highrise go up. Time will
tell if that turns out to be a good thing.
