how many structure fires

[MFDExplorer51]

how many structure fires does your dept./company/etc. get within a year?

[LHVFD]

It varys from year to year but on the average we have around 15 real structure fires, thats not chimney fires, smoke in the house, gas smell or anything like that.

[MikeF25]

Maybe 5, but the beginning of the year we had 7 in 3 weeks.

[Catch22]

We average about 4 each year, but this we ran numbers 5 and 6 last Friday already this year.

[sponge]

We ran 44 structure fires last year. About a third were automatic aid outside our area. To put this in better perspective, we had less than 150 total fire runs and less than 100 rescue calls in the year.

[RyanEMVFD]

We ran only 12 structure fires last year. Which I'm glad since we ran several more the previous year.

Volly house- 12-15 working fires plus about 75 other fires.
Paid Job- 60-70 working fires plus about 250 other fires.

HEY Stay Puff Marshmellow Man..

Your "volly house" gets 12-15 structures a year plus 75 "other fires"?? You are soooooo full of it!!! Your lucky if the town you volly in gets 5 structures a year and 30 "other" fires a year....Why the exaggeration? Just had to ask...........lol

We can usually get 1-2 house fires in our district each year, and anywhere from 5-10 mutual aid. We do get some other calls that are of signifigance, but fires seem to be rare.

So who wants to sign my petition?? Outlaw bluelight wackers!

[cap611]

we run around 900 fire only calls a year out of that we run about 25-30 structure fires a year.

[GoHomeWeGotIt]

I, GoHomeWeGotIt, would like to sign MakinDaKnock's petition to outlaw illuminated wackjobs. PREACH ON BROTHER!

[Temptaker]

GoHomeWeGotIt and MakinDaKnock,

Please forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is a "Bluelight wacker", and what does it have to do with this thread?

[ramseycl]

we get one maybe two in a good year.

[alpha192]

I'm at home and don't have our annual report in front of me but this is what I remember. It is hard to pick what an average year would be.

2000:
836 total runs,
1st due jobs:26 { 2 engines, 1 truck, 1 rescue }
mutual aid jobs:15 {either single unit up to 3 engine, truck, tanker}

2001:
790+- total runs,
1st due jobs: 10/11
mutual aid jobs: 10/11

My old department 4-5 workers per year, my new department around 12-15 first due, at least that many m/a.

[JeepFireNY]

We are a fairly small fire department and I would say we average around 2 structure fires a year.

[savingyou6]

Well it must be nice to get some fire we average about 1 first due in cobb island and m/a to about 10-15 in whidbey island we get about 3-6 first due and MAYBE the same m/a. no fire no fun although we do seem to have alot more mva's in whidbey, but cobb island rolls about 10-15 mva's.
