a <br /> 4 <br /> EMERGENCY ACTIVITIES <br /> We responded to more emergency runs (375) during 1983 than during any <br /> other year of our history. As- has been the case in the last 6 years, <br /> about 70t of these .runs Piave been medicals. To illustrate this rela.- <br /> •tionship between medical.s: :and non-medicals , I have included a-graph <br /> charting, =emergency -runs - over the .last 14 years. As for the drairatic <br /> increase in emergency activities during 1983, I can only guess that .it . <br /> is due to -the' inauguration of the .9.11 system in December, 1982 , and <br /> all of the attendant publicity rather than any trends within St. Anthony. <br /> In spite of this, we received only 3 false alarms on the 911 system .... <br /> during 1983. <br /> On the .subject of structure fires, cooking stoves have replaced wood <br /> burning appliances as our major problem. Full 40% of our structure <br /> fires were caused by cooking stoves although these fires accounted <br /> for only 12% of our fire :loss . <br /> i <br /> Fire Runs <br /> i <br /> False/Unfounded 41 <br /> Structure Fires 27 <br /> Vehicle Fires 7 <br />' Grass/Rubbish Fires 8 <br /> Smoke Odors 8 <br /> Mutual Aid 4 <br /> Pole Fires 2 <br /> TOTAL 97 <br /> Special Duties <br /> Gas Leaks 4 <br /> Gasoline Spills 3 <br /> Wires Down 3 <br /> Storms 2 <br /> TOTAL 12 <br /> 1983 Fire Loss <br /> Structures $57,995 Fire Loss, 1980 $85 ,570 <br /> Vehicles 800 Fire Loss , 1981 $65,464 <br /> Fire Loss , 1982 $20 , 395 <br /> TOTAL $58, 795 <br /> Major Fires of 1983 (greater ..than $1,000 loss) <br /> 2700 - 37th Avenue $30 , 000 Smoking and alcohol. .: <br /> American Monarch . $20 ,000 Combustibles in oven <br /> 3101.'.Rankin Road $ -6,000 Grease on stove ... . <br />
