Data Source and Calculation
The measure is calculated based on information from Department of Forestry (DOF) wildfire incident reports which are entered into DOF's Integrated Forest Resource Information System (IFRIS) by DOF employees. The goal of this measure is to reduce the number of fires that DOF does not respond to within 30 minutes. It is expressed as a percentage to mitigate the influence of weather-related factors on our performance. The measure is determined by dividing the number of wildfire responses that exceeded 30 minutes by the total number of wildfire responses.
