Good morning, peeps!
Things on the latest work projects (two of them) are coming together. I'm only "assisting" or "directing" on these so I have to hold myself back to keep from taking over and doing most of the work (an old habit from my dispatch and tech support days, I guess). The new Fire/EMS GIS intern is doing the grunt work on getting the closest hydrant to each address. That should be finished today so I'll have to find something else for him to learn. The new(er) contractor is working on identifying the buildings (working with actual building footprints) are within the University of Maryland, the old "building number, and what is in each (classrooms, food or retail services, administrative, etc.). I found the building names and numbers as a map layer, online, as well as the phone directory so now he just has to join up everything and create a new file with all the right info.
