I find it very interesting that the majority of the calls that the Ravenna Fire Department responds to are EMS related. Over the years as fire prevention has increased the average number of true fire calls has decreased. The Ravenna department is still very busy responding by ambulance to EMS type situations. For the month of April of 2009 the Ravenna department responded to 165 EMS calls which equated to 83% of the incident counts for April. Fire calls made up 10% with the remaining 7% filled by False Alarm calls. The Fire Department breaks the calls down by percentage for each ward in the City.
Ward 1 47.7%
Ward 2 23.1%
Ward 3 17.0%
Ward 4 6.5%
Charlestown & Mutual Aid 5.5%
With those EMS runs the City fueled up the two Horton Ambulance units with over 123 gallons of fuel.
Thought you would like to know.
