Responses to questions asked at previous meetings Staff provided the station call data and an overview of the Center for Public Safety Management Report on the Tukwila Fire Department presented to City Council on March 8, 2021. Q&A: • Is the 2019 data in the CPSM report stili good? - The biggest change is the call distribution between Stations 51 and 52 due to the new locations. Out of service agency calls have also increased due to a new Zone 3 policy as of March 2021. Does the City track com merciai vs. residential caiIs, and if so what is the ratio? Only alarms and fires are tracked, although the City does track where EMS calls happen. This results in response types by district but sometimes multiple units go to these calls, not actual #s per unit. How can we compare numbers back to 2016 or 2019 when the response areas have changed?
