TWO EMERGENCIES AT ONCE 603 Two simultaneous incidents

THREE EMERGENCIES AT ONCE 135 Three simultaneous incidents

FOUR OR MORE AT ONCE 32 Higher-demand periods

System Demand: These events occurred when Gilroy Fire was managing more than one emergency at the same time. As simultaneous incidents increase, available resources may become more limited and the department may rely on move-ups, automatic aid, or mutual aid to maintain coverage.

About unit-response totals: The 5,026 responses include every apparatus associated with Gilroy incidents, including Gilroy Fire units and automatic-aid or mutual-aid resources from neighboring agencies responding into the city. The individual cards above show selected Gilroy Fire apparatus and therefore do not add up to the full systemwide unit-response total.

Improvement is concentrated in travel time and the slow-response tail, indicating greater response reliability rather than simply faster turnout.

Matched period: Jan. 1–Sept. 24, 2025 vs. 2026. Response time is measured from fire dispatch to first-unit arrival. PSAP call-processing time is excluded.

About this dashboard

This dashboard combines Gilroy Fire Department operational reporting with public information from the National Weather Service, National Interagency Fire Center, CAL FIRE, PulsePoint, and regional response partners. Department workload figures are updated from First Due exports. Fire-season indicators refresh automatically from public sources, while Gilroy-specific deployment information is maintained manually when resources are assigned.
