Operating in collaboration with fire departments across California, CalStats plays a pivotal role in gathering statistical information vital for effective emergency response management.At its core, CalStats functions as the primary conduit for gathering National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) data from all fire departments in California, acting on behalf of the United States Fire Administration (USFA-FEMA). Additionally, CalStats oversees the management of CALFIRS, an integral system responsible for documenting emergency incidents across CAL FIRE's expansive network of 808 fire stations statewide.While CAL FIRE's 808 stations report approximately 15,000 fire emergencies annually, the total emergencies they respond to surpass 300,000 each year. These emergencies span a wide spectrum, encompassing medical incidents, rescues, floods, hazardous material releases, earthquakes, and other disasters.Functions include tracking and capturing all incident response data for CAL FIRE and California's diverse array of fire departments. This includes monitoring of wildfire occurrences, not only for CAL FIRE but also for the National Association of State Foresters, and produces the Department's annual Wildfire Activity Statistics Report, offering critical insights into wildfire trends and patterns.Beyond data collection and analysis, CalStats engages with legislators, providing timely reports and updates throughout the year. This ensures that policymakers remain informed and equipped to make data-driven decisions pertaining to emergency management and fire prevention strategies.CalStats stands as a cornerstone in California's emergency response infrastructure, facilitating the seamless exchange of vital information and empowering stakeholders to safeguard communities across the state.
