IV. Responses 2014 Annual Report · Fire Department · St. Anthony Village, Minnesota 7 2013 and 2014 had the same number of ﬁ res that we responded to. Fires attributed to 1.90% of all incidents in 2014 with a total of 26 ﬁ res which included our mutual aid responses. Overall in the Fire Service, structure ﬁ res are being better contained to a single room of origin due to sprinkler systems, ﬁ re alarms, stronger codes, better public education and quicker response rates. The typical ﬁ re is called a “room and contents ﬁ re” where the ﬁ re itself is contained to the room. However, ﬁ res are burning at faster and hotter rates due to all of the synthetic material that is now used in our everyday lives. One other side effect of the synthetics is the smoke that is being generated. Smoke now contains more poisonous gases that can cause people to succumb much faster. That is why it is important to have working smoke detectors which will alert you early on in order for you and your family to get out quickly.
