Our Latest Findings

Fire Decontamination Research



Firefighters can be exposed to cancer-causing contaminants while on the scene and yet only about 4% documented all on-scene decontamination procedures in 2021. How can your leadership team improve these stats to keep your team safe post fire?

2023 Fire Index Findings



How quickly do fire agencies respond to a call on average? What is the most common response type? How much property loss was reported? Find out what was discovered from over 4.5 million fire calls placed nationwide in 2022.

2023 EMS Index Findings



How should disparities in prehospital care be addressed? Are agencies being judicious in light and siren use? Are teams equipped to treat pediatric respiratory distress? See what was learned from 11 million EMS responses in 2022.

Ketamine Admin Research



Out of data for 11,291 out-of-hospital ketamine administrations in 2019, 49% were trauma/pain related, 34% were altered mental or behavioral state related, 13% were cardiovascular/pulmonary related, 2% were for seizures, and 2% were for other reasons. See what else was discovered.

2022 Firearm Statistics
