Seattle 911 Incidents Monitor description

Users can monitor the City of Seattle's Fire Dept.'s real time 911 dispatches (updated every 5 minutes), and report incidents (updated within 6 to 12 hours). The incidents can be viewed as a text list or on a map as icons or heat map. Examples of incidents include burglary, accident, fire, assault, drugs, death, and many more. Incident details can be viewed by touching an item on the list or a marker on the map display. A function is available to easily filter incidents by tags from the list or map. The app allows the user to send the incident location to Google Maps and/or Street View for better visualization of the 911 incident environment. Also has functions to measure linear distances and circular buffer zones around incidents.
