Each metric below is either drawn from a cited public source or explicitly marked unavailable. Nothing is estimated or invented.

| Fire/EMS incident responses | Data not publicly available | No county-published incident/response figure found in public sources. |
| Civilian fire injuries | Data not publicly available | Data not publicly available. No authoritative per-county public dataset; NFPA publishes only national estimates. (investigated: Minnesota SFMD/MFIRS, NFPA, USFA, county reports) |
| Firefighter injuries | Data not publicly available | Data not publicly available. Only national NFPA survey estimates exist; not published per county. (investigated: NFPA, USFA, county reports) |
| Fire dollar loss | Data not publicly available | Data not publicly available. The “Fire in Minnesota” report publishes per-county dollar loss, but it is a property-damage figure on a different basis (MFIRS participation-dependent), not a civilian-outcome metric comparable across counties. (investigated: Minnesota SFMD “Fire in Minnesota” report) |
Data confidence
Confidence reflects source authority, how many public metrics exist, and how statistically reliable the outcome data is — not whether this county reports like any other.
- Population (U.S. Census) and civilian fire deaths (Minnesota State Fire Marshal Division, annual “Fire in Minnesota” report (Runs, Dollar Losses and Deaths by County)) are both from authoritative public sources.
- No county-published incident/response figure was found in public sources.
- Zero recorded fire deaths over the 2018–2021 window yields a rate of 0 but with high uncertainty given the small population.
Fire-death trend
Published civilian fire deaths by year, 2021-2025. Counts are small, so read alongside Data Confidence.

AL State Fire Marshal · 2018-2021Civilian fire deaths by year — 2018: 0, 2019: 0, 2021: 0.
0 civilian fire deaths over five years. Annual counts are small, so a single event can shift a year materially — this is reflected in Data Confidence.
