What will you find here? 

This dashboard details the types of emergency events to which the Chicago Fire Department (CFD) is dispatched, the frequency of those events, and which emergency personnel responded to the incident. Events are categorized as either Emergency Medical Services (EMS) or Fire. Note that CFD response times are not included within the dashboards due to data quality issues. 

Questions that can be answered by using this dashboard include: 

  • What was the most common emergency event to which EMS responded in the past month? 
  • How many fire events occurred in the past year? 
  • What types of events receive both EMS and fire response? 

Data Sources
