[TillamanTrk1]

i see this has been asked a couple times but i couldn't find anything recent. just curious to see how many calls you guys are running these day!!! We ran almost 40k last year..we are a fully paid FD of about 400 fireman between 3 shifts.. we fun EMS and Fire... our rescues can run anywhere from 5 to 15 calls a shift thank the lord i'm a tillerman let the posting begin!

[pipeman1822]

I think we ran about 180,000 last year with over 2000 firemen. Many companies run 12-20/tour. Some more, some less. I think it's about 400 total for the day. There's 4 platoons.

[Acklan]

We ran 30,000 calls and have about 450 on the floor between 3 shifts. Most of our runs are EMS BLS non-transport. 19 engines 10 ladders.

100, about half EMS.

37 square miles.

[Eng34FF]

Just over 2000 calls last year, combined fire and EMS. All volunteer department with about 75 members. We are on track to do more than that this year.

[CaptOldTimer]

Like? They are not like anything you have every seen.

[st42stephenAFT]

I think the fire department ran about 280 last year while our town's first aid squad was probably up to about 1,500 runs.

[BoxAlarm187]

50k per year divided amongst 20 engines, 5 tower ladders, and 12 ALS ambulances. My engine averages about 2200 a year, and our medic is right there along with it.

At the volly house, we're doing 600/year.

[DeputyChiefGonzo]

We did 6,015 last year and this year we are already 223+ ahead of last year.

3 firehouses, 22 square miles, 40K population, 3 engines, 1 aerial, 1 rescue and the command vehicle.

[CaulkDavid.]

Fire dept (volunteer) runs between 200 and 300 a year. Ambulance service ( staffed with 2 rigs) runs around 2500 a year.

This always interests me when you see companies doing more than 4,000 runs a year. When do you send fire companies to EMS calls? Is it for everything or for higher priority calls?

Most of our engines are about 35% or so EMS, very few are right around 50%. We are supposed to only go on high priority EMS calls....doesnt work out like that usually.

[nyckftbl]

....I was wondering, what was with the "thank the Lord I'm a tillerman" thing? Your fire co's don't do EMS?

our trucks dont do EMS. yet.

[Rescue101]

NO Ems,380-400 runs a year. Probably goig to up that # this year. T.C.
