The Amador Fire
Protection District, or AFPD, has released its latest statistics for June of
2008. The AFPD responded
to a total of 178
incidents last month. 103 of these were medical aid related and 21 were
vehicle accidents, a total which combined accounted for 69 percent of the
incidents. As is typical yet surprising to many who are unaware of the types of
incident calls the Fire District receives, only 19 of the incidents were fire
related. Of these, there were 5 structure fires, 1 cooking fire, 1
generator fire, 1 chimney fire, 2 vehicle fires and 9 wild land fires. 56
percent of the total calls occurred between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm.
