Response Statistics - Updated 7/16/10

Click on the images below to see full sized graphs. For a further breakdown by month, use the link below the chart. Please note that all of the statistics discussed on this page are for emergency calls and do not reflect the additional inspections, etc., that we also handle.

Prior to 2006, incidents with multiple patients were assigned a run number for each patient. For example, a car accident with three patients would be assigned three separate run numbers. Now, there is only one run number assigned to each incident regardless of the number of patients. This should create a relative "artifical" inflation in run numbers prior to 2006. Despite this inflation, run numbers continue to exceed each previous year. This can be seen in Graph 2 and Graph 3.

A list of notable incidents from last month is posted at the bottom of this page. This includes any fires, mutual aid sent, mutual aid received, task forces, etc. Things that are not included in this list are still alarms, individual ambulance calls, and motor vehicle accidents (MVA's). You can visit our glossary if you have any questions about what these different things are.
