Each CFS brigade submits details on each call response they have attended and pass
them on to the State Air Desk for collation. The statistics we show on this site
are provided to us by CFS Headquarters.
While every effort has been undertaken to ensure accuracy on these numbers, there
may be inaccuracies and as a result, should not be used as fact. If you believe
there are inaccuracies in these figures, please contact your CFS Regional Office
to clarify this.
Each individual brigades incident statistics appear on their brigade page, as well
as activities performed.
