INTRODUCTION
During 2014, members of the Cincinnati Fire Department did an outstanding job of
providing the best customer service to citizens of Cincinnati and its visitors. This is no
surprise that for 161 years, members of the Cincinnati Fire Department have been
privileged to serve the citizens of Cincinnati with honor and pride.
This summary of the activities of the Cincinnati Fire Department for the year 2014 reflects
the dedication and hard work of all members of the Cincinnati Fire Department. Like every
other department, we faced many new challenges due to financial obstacles. Our delivery
of emergency services is still second to none and will continue to be our top priority.
The Cincinnati Fire Department also continues to reach out to the public and to educate
them on fire safety, with a goal to make where they live, go to school and work, safe
environments.
The Cincinnati Fire Department responded to 73,136 calls for emergency and nonemergency assistance. There were 53,323 calls for EMS responses, representing 73% of
our responses.
In addition to our emergency activities, we continue to provide our members with one of
the most comprehensive Fire/EMS training programs in the State of Ohio. We deliver fire
safety and prevention programs to the business community through code enforcement
inspections and to the public, by way of fire station visits. We continue to prepare for
possible large-scale incidents under the auspices of the Citys Emergency Management
program.
This report will provide its readers with a glimpse of the work that the men and women of
the Cincinnati Fire Department did in 2014. Its readers will see why the Cincinnati Fire
Department is rated one of the top customer service agencies in the City of Cincinnati.

Executive Office
The Executive Office provides fiscal oversight, planning, and management of the Fire
Department's annual budget. The Divisions Executive Officer serves as the human
resource liaison internally and with the City Human Resource Department.
Additionally, the Executive Officer represents the Department with other fire departments,
public organizations, outside agencies and organizations on special events and projects,
and act as an alternate for the Chief at various meetings.
This position, a first in the Cincinnati Fire Departments history, was one of the
recommendations of the Tri-Data Consultants on improving the efficiency and effectiveness
of the Fire Department.
The Executive Office sustains all departmental functions through
the prudent oversight of available funding and management of
the day-to-day activities necessary to meet financial obligations.
The Division is tasked with preparing and monitoring the Fire
Departments operating and capital budgets and processing all
payments associated with these budgets. The FY 2015 Cincinnati
Fire Department Operating Budget totaled $66,894,440.
Approximately 87%, or $58,157,030 of the operating budget
funds the salaries and wages for the 876 employees of the Fire
Department. The remaining
$8,737,410 of the FY 2015 operating budget was budgeted for
non-personnel services for the procurement of materials/supplies,
contractual services and lease payments.
With the creation of the Executive Office came the position of
Grants Administrator. This position assists the Fire Department in
providing leadership and direction for the identification,
development, and coordination of public/private grant
development activities. The Grants Administrator prepares grants
and marketing proposals, identifies and researches funding
sources from public and private agencies, and is responsible for
all reporting requirements.

comparison is slightly less than a 3% increase. The addition of power cots on our medic
units has continued to reduce injuries as a result of lifting and loading. In 2014 there were a
total of 2 cot related injuries, compared to 4 in 2013. Both of 2014s cot injuries were a
result of the older, manual cots. Moving forward, we hope to add additional power cots to
our fleet.

recorded vehicle accidents can be broken down as follows: 52 were deemed preventable
and 36 were deemed not preventable. Of the 52 that were deemed preventable, 31
resulted in discipline, which resulted in the administration of 24 oral counselings, 4 written
reprimands and 3 pre-disciplinary hearings.
The system used for categorizing our vehicle accidents reveals the following causes:
19 backing accidents of which 9 were without a spotter
30 incidents where we struck fixed objects
