Which year did PBCFR record a significant increase in emergency incidents handled compared to previous years?

The year 2020 stands out as a significant period for PBCFR due to the unprecedented increase in emergency incidents handled. This rise can be attributed to multiple factors, including the global pandemic, which led to an overload of healthcare services and increased emergency response needs. Additionally, natural disasters and other emergencies may have contributed to a heightened demand for fire and rescue services during that period.

The data reflects how outside influences, such as public health crises and environmental factors, dramatically impact the volume of emergency incidents. This highlights the importance of understanding these trends in the context of community preparedness and resource allocation. The other years, while they may have their own historical significance, did not experience the same level of increase in emergency incidents as observed in 2020.
