Reports
How does data help keep you safe?
Data from fire departments helps us understand and effectively combat the fire problem in Minnesota. It allows the SFMD to focus on real fire problems rather than popular perceptions. On the local level, this data provides information to help focus on prevention efforts. It also assists with budget planning for staffing and equipment.
Who uses data from Minnesota fire departments
The media, the public, the fire service, and the fire protection community request data from us on a regular basis. We use data to support legislative initiatives and to guide public fire safety and prevention campaigns.
