The following stand-alone Python script demonstrates how the AddFieldToAnalysisLayer function can be used to transfer the StationID field from the input fire station features to the 2-, 3-, and 5-minute service area polygon features calculated from a service area analysis. The StationID field can be used to join other attributes from the fire station features to the service area polygon features.
Legacy:
The GetNASublayer function can be used to retrieve the sublayers of a network analysis layer. It was introduced in ArcGIS Pro 2.7. In prior software versions, the best way to retrieve a sublayer object of a network analysis layer was to use the listLayers method of the network analysis Layer object using the sublayer name as a wildcard.
