Fire in Minnesota
What is it?
The report's history
The first edition of Fire in Minnesota was produced 25 years ago. Back then, there were two counties from which 100 percent of the fire departments provided fire statistics. That's two counties out of 89 -- not an impressive number. Today, 99 percent of Minnesota's 785 departments reported data on emergency calls.
Why is this information important?
Data provided Minnesota fire departments is crucial to developing an all-inclusive report officials can use to help fight fire with facts and save lives.
