The chart below shows the total EMS calls for each year. It then shows how many of those calls were MVA calls (Motor Vehicle Accidents) and how many patients were seen that year. The reason more patients are seen than EMS calls, is because a single MVA call can generate more than one patient. In addition we also get several patients that come into the station.
