ESTIMATED FIRE LOSS IN 2024
This report evaluates the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety Fire Division’s effectiveness through a conservative estimate of saved dollars to the community. As with most performance measures, this valuation does not tell the “whole” story. It does not represent the total value of content saved nor does it reflect all neighboring properties saved due to suppression efforts; however, it does a good job of demonstrating the tangible benefits of a well-trained operations division and a proactive prevention bureau.
