In 2010, public fire departments in the United States responded to 1,331,500 fires, according to estimates based on data the National Fire Protection Association received from fire departments responding to its 2010 National Fire Experience Survey. According to NFPA, this represents a slight decrease of 1.3 percent from the previous year and is the lowest since NFPA started using its current survey methodology in 1977–78.
