Emergency Incident Statistics

Introduction

As the Business Owner of the SMS Incident database I am pleased to be able to introduce the 2010/11
edition of the New Zealand Fire Service Emergency Incident Statistics Book.

Every emergency incident attended by the New Zealand Fire Service or the Rural Fire Authorities requires
that the officer in charge complete a form summarising the important features of the incident. As this book
shows, these incidents are not just fires but also motor vehicle accidents, floods, rescues and many other
diverse activities. With just under 78,000 of these incidents this year the information needs to be
processed and audited by a dedicated team, who are also responsible for preparing the summary data
presented in this book, and for constantly seeking imaginative ways of presenting complex information.

The data is used in research projects directed at fire safety improvements to building standards and
codes, consumer products and community safety programmes for delivery by our staff or for multi-agency
campaigns.

The New Zealand Fire Service and the National Rural Fire Authority are committed to the concepts of
business excellence. This means that we commit to high standards in terms of data collection and
processing. But the excellence framework also demands that the organisation manage its business based
on facts. Many of the most important facts about the way we do our work can be extracted from
information contained in this book. Taken together with information such as that contained in the census
data, trends and correlations are revealed that can be used to drive the service in better directions.

This book is published in electronic format on the New Zealand Fire Service website at
http://www.fire.org.nz/About-Us/Facts-and-Figures. Staff can access an online version, updated daily,
using the SMART Reports system via the intranet.

The team welcomes comments on how this information could be presented more effectively, or what
information particular groups might like to see.

Please feel free to contact us on: SMSADMIN@fire.org.nz

New Zealand Fire Service Introduction


Emergency Incident Statistics

How is the Emergency Incident Statistics publication produced?

The SMS Incident System is a dynamic database, which means that emergency incident information can
be updated/edited at any time.

Before creating this publication, the data is copied to a "holding area" and stored for historical purposes.
This procedure is similar to a Census, as it provides us with a "snapshot" of our emergency incident
information at that particular time.

This data cube is then searched using specialised software, which produces the tables contained in this
publication.

The date of publication is generally aimed to be shortly after the end of the financial year (30 June),
however the tables are not assembled until the database reaches a level of 99% completion. The
completion level is derived from the total number of incidents in the most recent year, and the number of
incident reports that are outstanding.

The NZFS is committed to ensuring that the data that is contained in its databases is as error-free as
possible. As a result, we monitor and perform quality assurance checks to ensure that the level of human-
error is as low as possible. When errors are found, they are corrected by our administration staff who
liase with operational firefighters to ensure that the data represents real world events as close as
possible.

As a result of quality assurance, some information may change over the course of producing this
publication, which would increase the difficulty of producing statistics from a dynamic database. The
snapshot method helps to avoid such problems. Tables in this publication which are recreated as "ad hoc
queries" may not match historical publications, because ad hoc queries are run through (essentially) our
"live" database.

We are always looking for new and innovative ways to present our information to you, and should you
require more information regarding how the publication is produced, or would like to make comments,
please feel free to contact us at the following email address:

Incident Type Exposures allowed
Structure Fire Yes
Mobile Property Fire Yes
Hazardous Material Fire Yes
Vegetation Fire Yes
Hazardous Material (Non-Fire) No

Standardisation of Exposures
Exposures can only be recorded against and within significant incidents. Therefore, a minor fire cannot have
an exposure record attached to it and a significant fire cannot expose to a minor fire. The SMS Incident
system will determine whether exposures are valid for an incident based on whether the main fire is minor or
significant.
