Fire in Minnesota
What is it?
The annual Fire in Minnesota report is based on numbers provided by Minnesota fire departments. The report includes
information on fire causes, fatalities, and trends. To see the current Fire in Minnesota report and previous year reports, please see

The report's history
The first edition of Fire in Minnesota was produced 27 years ago. Back then, there were two counties from which 100 percent of the fire departments provided fire statistics. That's two counties out of 87 -- not an impressive number. Today, 99 percent of Minnesota's 778 departments reported data on emergency calls.
Why is this information important?
Data provided Minnesota fire departments is crucial to developing an all-inclusive report officials can use to help fight fire with facts and save lives.
