Find the public safety facilities nearest to a US street address, sorted by distance.

Args: address: Full US street address, e.g. "350 Fifth Ave, New York, NY" type: Optional filter — "fire", "police", "ems", or "hospital". Comma-separate for several; omit to return all types. radius_miles: Search radius in miles (0.1–50, default 10) limit: Maximum facilities to return (1–25, default 5)

Find the public safety facilities nearest to a latitude/longitude, sorted by distance. Use this when you already have coordinates; it skips geocoding and is faster than find_stations_near_address.

Args: lat: Latitude (WGS84) lng: Longitude (WGS84) type: Optional filter — "fire", "police", "ems", or "hospital" radius_miles: Search radius in miles (0.1–50, default 10) limit: Maximum facilities to return (1–25, default 5)

Args: station_id: Facility ID, e.g. "fire_CA_12345"

List or search public safety facilities by type, state, name, or ZIP. Use this for questions like "how many fire stations are in Kansas" or to find a facility by name. For "what's nearest to X", use find_stations_near_address instead.

Args: type: "fire", "police", "ems", or "hospital" (comma-separate for several) state: Two-letter state code, e.g. "CA" name: Full-text search on the facility name zip: 5-digit ZIP code limit: Results per page (1–100, default 25) offset: Pagination offset (default 0)

Useful for routing, coverage reporting, or working out which local government and responders serve an address.

Provide either an address, or a lat/lng pair.

Args: address: Full US street address (geocoded automatically) lat: Latitude (WGS84) — use with lng instead of address lng: Longitude (WGS84) — use with lat instead of address

Get facility counts by type (fire, police, EMS, hospital) for one state.
