Each EMS, Fire or Other incident is dispatched to an identified address or location. FEMS emergency vehicles are located in fire stations across the District of Columbia. Called “Engine Companies,” each fire station houses at least one fire engine, one ambulance and other emergency vehicles. There are thirty three Engine Companies. Each Engine Company has a pre-defined “first response” area. This first response area is the geographic area where the emergency vehicle housed in the fire station is most likely to arrive first (compared to vehicles from other fire stations), based on incident location travel distance. EMS, Fire and Other incidents are dispatched to identified addresses and locations within each Engine Company first response area. For operational management purposes, Engine Companies are grouped by “Battalions.” There are six Battalions. Each Battalion encompasses all Engine Company first response areas within the Battalion. The tables below show incident counts by Engine Company first response area and Battalion during FY 2017, FY 2018, FY 2019, FY 2020 and to date in FY 2021 (beginning on October 1, 2016).
