8 www.nj.gov/dca/dfs REPORT CONTENTS The data presented in this report is representative of the incident data that has been submitted to the Division of Fire Safety’s NFIRS Unit. Data received has been processed into the State and Federal databases. Please refer to pages 120 through 138 to see if your fire department has contributed to the information in this report.

Based upon incidents received, New Jersey fire departments responded to 397,945 incidents in 2006.

Data submission is broken down as follows:

Of the 745 fire departments in the state, 719 (96%) submitted data.

Note: 25 fire departments submitted less than six months of data. 26 fire departments did not submit any data.

The number of fire departments in the state differs from 2005 due to the merging of two departments in Somerset County (East Franklin Twp. Fire Co. and Community Vol. Fire Co. #1).

Data in this report does not include military installation fire department data. Military installation fire departments report directly to the Department of Defense.

All of the charts included in this report are based on 2006 totals unless otherwise specified.

www.nj.gov/dca/dfs 99 NEW CATEGORY ADDED

Please note, a new category has been added in some charts called “Information Not Provided By FD”. Our intent with adding this category is to draw attention to the fact that information has not been entered in certain incident report fields. These fields have been left blank by the reporting fire department. If this information had been provided there would be a more accurate picture of the fire problem in New Jersey.

The new category can be found in the charts on the following pages:
