These are dispatch categories, put into plain English — the same wording as the running count on the home page. "Hazard call" covers wires down, gas odors and spills. "Manpower assist" is another department asking for people.

By the clock

Worth remembering when you see a truck go by at 3 AM: everyone on it has work in the morning.

About these numbers

They come from the department's own run records, counted once and set down here. 2025 is closed, so these figures will not change.

This is the first year we have published in this form. We are not yet able to show you response times, how many firefighters turned out, or training delivered — we are building the records that would let us, and we would rather show you nothing than show you a number we cannot stand behind.

For this year as it happens, the running count is on the home page. Questions about anything here: info@sjctfd.org.
