Busy Volunteer Houses

[Guest Close DCFyrMdc]

Does anyone know of where I could find a list of the busiest volunteer firehouses in the U.S.? I'm looking for the list itself, a source, the criteria they use to determine "busiest", etc.

Thanks to any who can help!

IN THE OCT. AND NOV. FIREHOUSE THERE IS THE 2000 VOLUNTEER RUN SURVEY. THIS SHOWS TOTAL INCIDENTS FOR THE YEARIN 1999. DON'T KNOW WERE TO FIND THE LIST THAT YOU ARE REFERING TO. IF I FIND ANYTHING ELSE I'LL DROP ANOTHER POST.

Captain Carp's response would have been mine as well; however, this list only includes those departments that chose to send in their information. Many don't.

Did you try contacting state agencies? All of the vollie depts. that I've ever been a member of filled out incident forms for each run and submitted them to these agencies. It would vary from state to state what bureau (etc.) handled these forms. But it may be a place to start.

Good luck.
