Although various plans are prepared for urban development of
Kathmandu Metropolitan City, urban areas continue to grow
haphazardly and without appropriate planning and infrastructure
such as fire station facilities and emergency services. The fire station suitability zonation map presented in this study can be a good
source for concerned authorities and provide valuable information
for development works related to fire station management. A
similar model can be replicated for fire related planning to the
other cities of Nepal.
