| Fire Station/Fire Hydrants | Observed | Seen at Acer Tech Center, Industrial Heights, and Casper Park District | Fire stations and hydrants appear to be located in neighborhoods of people of high social status and income. The location of the fire station in these neighborhoods ensures safety through timely response to fire outbreaks. | Easy access to the fire station is important in ensuring timely response to fire incidents in the community (Nair, 2018). However, there is an increased risk of inequality in managing fire hazards since the location of the fire station is in affluent communities (Chalfin et al., 2022). |
| Public Transportation | Observed | Sentinel City has several bus stations. | Enhanced availability of public transport ensures easy access to healthcare services for the people of Sentinel City. It also increases their engagement in socioeconomic activities that contribute to the development of their communities. | Public transport addresses disparities in healthcare due to difficulties in accessing the care that the population needs (Mugion et al., 2018). Public transport is more affordable and reliable than private transport, which makes it easy for the disadvantaged to access the available resources in the city. The risk of health-related complications due to delays in accessing healthcare is also reduced due to the presence of a well-developed public transport system. |

It also increases mobility within towns for the population, hence, enhancing engagement in different activities that contribute to its health and wellbeing. | Bust transport offers easy access to healthcare services for the population (Mugion et al., 2018). For example, the city residents can use it as a means of transport to hospitals around the city, hence, enhancing access to healthcare services. |
