Calls
Approximately 11,000 year or 2 calls per hour every day for 11 stations
58 Fire calls last year is about 1 fire a week for 11 stations
11,000 – 58 (fires) leaves 10,942 calls left
68% of 10,942 means that EMS had 7,440 calls/responses.
This is 20 people transported to the hospital a day.
Each trip to a hospital puts your unit out of service
We have ambulance companies to do this.
7440 + 58 = 7498 Fire or EMS calls
What were the other 3502 calls for? Are they so important that we need 5 more stations and 30 + new employees?
