The Amador Fire Protection District
has released its May statistics on incident responses in the Amador area. In
total, the District
responded to 143 incidents in May 2008. 81 of these were medical aid
related and 26 were vehicle accidents. These two responses alone accounted
for 75 percent of the total incidents. As is typical but surprising to
many who are not aware of how the Fire District spends its time, only 11 of the
incidents were fire related. There were 2 structure fires, 1 cooking fire,
1 fuel burner malfunction fire, 2 vehicle fires and 5 wild land
fires. 55 percent of the total calls received occurred between the
hours of 8 am and 5 pm.
