    Only an average of 1200+ fire calls per station low enough. i know they do medical in fire appliances. Do DFB when they get a firecall where by they mobilise from 2 different stations log that as 2 turnouts and/or 2 incidents

    The stats system has always been flawed, if the appliance is dispatched for an EMS call its classed as an ambulance case and not registered for the fire calls, and if say 4-5 appliances are heading to a fire and only one crew works at the fire then the others dont get the stat for it, even if they where just around the corner, you have to be in attendence at the fire for the stats to count it.

    In other words you could be out the door all night but another crew getting there first and as far as the stats are concerned you didnt turn a wheel

    So am I right in saying that if 4 appliances from 4 different stations in attendance at an incident that can be counted as 4 calls as opposed to 1 call with 4 pumps attending. So for stats purposes thats 4 calls not 1

    Are calls passed to the HSE included in the 72.000+ ambulance calls ?

    Dont think so, if you look in one of the other files in that link, theres a file that contains the control log for all ambulance calls, so logs all the calls coming in

    Or thats my reading of it anyway

    4 pumps at 1 fire would be classed as 1 incident. DA calls are ambulance related but include a lot of RTC or other rescue calls where an Ambulance is required. Other Fire authorities would classify these calls as Fire incidents(DF). As has been stated the stats are not a genuine reflection of activity levels in Dublin Fire Brigade

    No, calls passed to NAS are disposed of on the system . There will have been a log of the call coming in but the incident number will be deleted and isn't counted

    Hi, the links on that site are now broken. Does anyone have a copy of any of the stats saved? I'd really appreciate it.
