Coverage Area
Hey All...Just wanted to try something a little different...and yes, I may use the results for a paper that I am writting for a class. I would like to know your coverage area.....Square miles....# of blocks...however you descibe the area that you are responsible for in Fire/EMS coverage. I know this will vary greatly as does the number of calls responding to each year...For example....I am in a small rural Department 44 members...we average 1.4 calls per day over the course of the year.....our coverage area is 218 square miles....Thanks....stay safe...Keep the Faith...........Paul

Brigade - currently 40 volunteer members, no career.
Calls per year - average 290, no EMS.
Population covered - 19,000 - including automatic support area, probably 30,000.
Area - no idea, odd shaped suburb in the State capital. Coverage effectively increases to the whole State for severe wildfire, we can be sent anywhere over the 237,000 sq kilometres (91,000 sq miles).
