OscarTango Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hate to answer a question with a question but what's a Airflex when it's at home? Link to comment
Gatts2 Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 Airflex: fills SCBA & provides rehab SOC: Special ops command HMC: Hazmat command Link to comment
Keith Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Think you might need to explain the unit runs and boxes as well Gatts, the fires are obviously self explanatory. If I'm reading it correctly you have a low ratio of fires to turnouts. Suspect thought you do a high number of EMT / ambulance calls. Link to comment
Gatts2 Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 Unit runs: total runs for the year. Boxes: total number of times the unit has been called out for a report of fire. Fires: total number of confirmed fires. You’re correct. The majority of the unit runs will be EMS related. Link to comment
Becile Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Some interesting stats @Gatts2 does your control/dispatch call challenge anything, only ask as as in the uk many fire alarms for example are call challeged and we dont go, as the vast majority (not all) don't require an attendance. Thus our figures are likely to be far reduced than yours by comparison. And yourself being a city FD , Apologies I dont know your city size etc.So by comparison my Surrey figures would come no where near to say Merseyside or London.(although some of incidents (example wildfire )may far exceed the city boys and girls, whereas high rise wont.

Gatts2 Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 As far as I know any fire alarm that is received at communications will be dispatched. Baltimore City: 92 sq miles, population 620,000 I should also point out that the fire totals refer to fires that are at least 1 Alarm (multi apparatus response). Vehicle fires & dumpster fires etc wouldn’t be included in the total. The majority of our call are EMS related. I’m getting pretty good at using Narcan! Link to comment
Becile Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Surrey = 1 200 000 population, 1,663 km2 (642 sq mi) Link to comment
Gatts2 Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 That’s a big difference! Link to comment
Becile Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Our stats will be measured very different from yours i think, remember we're not doing EMS Link to comment
Gatts2 Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 The old joke over here is the last three letters of the word problems is ems. 1 Link to comment
