Hello
INCIDENT COUNT AND STATISTICS
The Department tracks various statistics and metrics related to alarm responses and this data is reported to The National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS). The NFIRS has two objectives: to help state and local governments develop fire reporting and analysis capability for their own use, and to obtain data that can be used more accurately to assess and subsequently combat the fire problem at a national level. The data we report is used to track fire cause, origin, time, and various other data points used to educate our community regarding fire prevention through our Community Risk Reduction division.
