AFPD’s New Statistics

slide15.pngThe 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.
