CPM 101 Annual Report: FY2011 Fire & EMS /38 Graph 3 -3 • Each fire incident is to be counted once, so if a fire was confined to room of origin, it should not be counted again as also having been confined to floor or structure of origin. • In CPM 101, there is no tracking of percentage undetermined. Thus, it is possible that in some jurisdictions for which the sum of the two categories tracked is low (e.g., Goodlettsville, TN, which reported 43% confined to room of origin and 19% confined to structure of origin), the remaining percentage might be beyond the structure of origin or might be undetermined. In CPM Comprehensive, where the percentage undetermined is 40% or more, those jurisdictions' responses are omitted from the graph, means and medians. Graph 3 -4 • Some jurisdictions may respond to non - emergency or non - priority calls. If these calls were included in dispatch data, they may impact the overall response time. Graph 3 -5 • Some jurisdictions may respond to non - emergency or non - priority calls. If these calls were included in dispatch data, they may impact the overall response time. Graph 3 -6 • False alarms per 1,000 population is one indication of the overall call volume relative to the size of the jurisdiction. Data are also available to compare false alarms to the number of fire incidents (structure fires and non - structure fires). • In CPM Comprehensive, false alarm questions include a breakout by type of false alarm, including the number that were good intent, malicious, or involved a system /detector malfunction. Graph 3 -7 • This graph presents commercial and industrial inspections as a percentage of all commercial and industrial occupancies. In CPM Comprehensive, data are collected for commercial and industrial occupancies, commercial and industrial structures, and residential structures (1 -2 family, multifamily, and other). Inspections are tracked for each of those categories as well as the reason for the inspection (e.g., acceptance, re- inspections, complaint- driven, pre -fire plan review). Graph 3 -8 • EMS population served is based on the overall population reported by the jurisdiction, with Blue Ash, OH, reporting a daytime population of 40,000 (based on employment) and Sugar Land, TX, noting that fire service is provided to some extra - territorial areas with revenue based on user fees. Within CPM Comprehensive, jurisdictions may report population separately for the service being provided (e.g., fire suppression, EMS, technical rescue or hazmat response). Graph 3 -9 • Percentage of patients delivered to a medical center with a pulse may vary depending upon local policies for pronouncing patient deaths (in the field or at the hospital) and the health of the local population. In smaller jurisdictions or where there are very few cardiac arrest patients, the percentage delivered with a pulse may vary significantly from one year to the next.
