The fire district was called out on 21 events. Some were false alarms but others included wildland fires, structure fires, medical incidents and accidents

This  was a very light year for callouts but we kept busy in the background working on various service upgrages and enhancements.

Call (or callout) - The event that lets FD 16 know a possible incident occurred. It could be a phone call, pageout or even generated by one of our members to something they saw or heard.

Incident (main) - an event that qualifies for emergency action. It will be broken down into predefined categories (i.e. vegetation fire, structure fire, vehicle accident, medical intervention etc.). These incident categories are those we need to track for purposes of applying for grants.

Incident (sub) - this is an incident type that was created by the main incident. For example, a vehicle accident may generate a vegetation fire incident and maybe even a medical intervention incident.

Response - This is our action taken for the incident. For multi-incident events (i.e. car accident and vegetation fire) it counts as one response for each incident type. Each day that we are actively working the incident counts also as a response. So, for example, if a vehicle accident (handled same day) and wildland fire occurs (take 3 days active work to contain) then it would count as one response to a vehicle accident and 3 responses to a wildland fire. Follow up status checks on incident sites are not counted as responses.
