* From 911E dispatch reports
the number of fire related incidents occuring between 7
am and 6 pm, the average for 6 months chosen at random is
18.16 dispatches a month. Since more fires occur on weekends
than weekdays, 2/3 of this figure was used to estimate daytime
fires on week days. This number rounds off to 12 weekday
fires per month countywide. An average of 2 hours per dispatch
