Introduction Emergency Incident Statistics 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.

How is the Emergency Incident Statistics publication produced? Emergency Incident Statistics 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 humanerror 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: SMSADMIN@fire.org.nz New Zealand Fire Service Production
