2014 Run Numbers

[JM15 386]

So how many calls did you do during 2014? Breakdown by fire or EMS

[SageVigiles 1,194]

I know I'm not in the greater NYC area anymore, so just to be safe Jon, I'll officially take us out of the running for that trophy you're giving out...

Morningside Volunteer Fire Department

Prince George's County, MD Station 827

Engine 827: 1,056

Rescue-Engine 827: 977

Rescue Squad 827: 1,853

Ambulance 827: 2,824

Total: 6,709*

That's with minimum staffing of 3 interior on the Engine, 4 on the Rescue Squad, and 3 or 4 on the Rescue Engine depending on if its responding as an Engine Company or a Special Service. Ambulance is with 2 EMTs minimum, obviously. Though most of the time we run heavier than the minimum. As I've mentioned before we're staffed 24/7 with volunteers.

*Note: Some of those responses are incidents in which 2 or 3 pieces responded to the same call. I don't have the ability to break down how many unique incident numbers we went on, that kind of thing has to come from Communications, these are the numbers from our logbook. Some of those calls that suppression pieces went on are to assist EMS, but again I can't separate that data.

[BFD1054 1,552]

How about posting the numbers that mean something; i.e. Response times, # of INTERIOR FFs per call, etc?

You sure showed him, a whole 18 runs he missed

[Morningjoe 162]

That was really my point, albeit reading back on it, it didn't come out clear at all. Run numbers mean absolute jack. It's stats like BFD1054 is asking for that really matter.

I have a question for our Maryland brothers.

Does everyone in MD walk around with a lit match?

Not everyone in MD, just Prince George's and Baltimore City... Haha

The majority of PG County is a low income area, especially after all the military families moved out and DC started being gentrified. Our Battalion borders Southeast DC, which is somewhere between Dodge City and Baghdad in terms of violence. Plenty of gang and drug activity in the county, I beleive during the 90's PG had one of the highest murder rates in America. Also lots of garden apartment buildings with no sprinkler systems, and just generally crappy building construction all over the place. It's not a nice place to live (with the exception of a few towns) but it's a helluva place to be a Fireman. Not too many other places where volunteers can get the fire experience you can get down here. (Or up here, in your case.)

[Rescue97 6]

Haha yea trying to be PC. I know if I put FDNY 1.6 mill people will be "there were voluntary units doing runs with that..."

[Bnechis 3,961]

Port Chester , nobody left to do reports ?

Not like you left at the beginning of the year. You could have done most of them

Now next years going to be different....

[Bnechis 3,961]

Actually what the run numbers mean is we have way to many rigs in Westchester covering 1 - 2 calls a day. And since most depts. can't properly many the rigs they have, all we are doing is fooling ourselves and the public.
