About This Data

Based on the NFIRS Public Data Release (2021–2025) — the final release before the transition to NERIS. NFIRS is voluntarily reported; some departments have missing years or incomplete records. This report presents data as submitted and may not reflect a department's full call volume.

Incident Volume & Trends

Note: 2025 is a partial year for this department. 2025 reporting to NFIRS trails off after February, likely reflecting the ongoing transition from NFIRS to the new NERIS reporting system rather than an actual drop in activity — so the 2025 point below understates real call volume.
