Response statistics

Year beginning January 1 2008, ending December 31 2008:

The Surf City Volunteer Fire Department responds to many calls for assistance all during the different times of the year, all hours of the day and night. These calls of assistance come from private citizens, other area fire departments, Emergency Medical Services agencies, and law enforcement officers. The nature of these calls varies, and each response is unique, as no incident is the same as any before it.

Below is a breakdown of the calls we responded to for the year 2005. Our Incident Reporting year begins January 1 and ends December 31 of each year. Each incident we respond to, no matter the nature, is logged and entered into a nationwide incident reporting system. This system is known as NFIRS (Nation Fire Incident Reporting System). It assists the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) in maintaining statistical databases for various reports and to help design safety and fire prevention programs and materials for the general public.
