About this data

Fire departments are listed when they reported at least 10 incidents per year on average during 2021–2025 — about 19,000 of the ~37,000 departments in the FEMA fdheader file. Per-department detail pages (incident type, FDID coverage area, paid-vs-volunteer ratio over time) are coming next.
