The Citizen Dashboard is being converted into an Open Data format, linking the Citizen Dashboard with Open Hamilton. During this conversion, the data on the Citizen Dashboard will not be updated quarterly, resulting in some data being out of date. The conversion is expected to be completed in September 2019.
Understanding the top causes of commercial/industrial structure fires in each ward is an essential component in learning how to prevent those fires from occurring.
Commercial businesses and properties are important to the local economy and working collaboratively will assist in reducing the numbers of incidents of fire and the resulting impact on the community.
In order to take steps to reduce the number of commercial structure fires, the HFD are partnering with our commercial/ industrial businesses and work collectively in reducing the incidents of fire through fire prevention initiatives, public education and pre-fire planning.
