Abstract

Fire is a commonly problem on the last three years in Makassar. Operational Staff of Fire Department Makassar record 32 cases fire disaster in 2015, 44 cases in 2014, and 35 cases in 2017, even on 2018 recently occurs on April and May.

Determine the route with optimum options will be helpfully the fire rescue to reduce the risk and prevent the situation from getting worse. This research has an objective to give information of optimum route that will use by the fire rescue. The optimum route according to fire station location using Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS). The QGIS is required the topology, length, target that finally give the shortest route. The travel time of vehicle also required refer to the condition of traffic.
