Spring is almost here! As the weather here in Texas warms
up, more and more people will be venturing out of doors in an effort to be more
active and enjoy the rising temperatures before they get too warm. Additionally,
the rainy season will fast be upon us and, as a result, the amount of non-fire
related incidents to respond to could also greatly increase. Below, you will
see the non-fire related injuries reported to the commission between March 1,
2014 and March 1, 2015 by activity and primary apparent symptom. There were 1,602
reports submitted in total.

Whether or not it is fire related, remember always to employ
the department’s SOPs when responding to any incidents. Additionally, make sure
to be aware of your surroundings at all times and take what measures may be
needed to avoid injury to yourself and others.
