Fire department calls for service and 311 cases in San Francisco.

Note

Microsoft provides Azure Open Datasets on an “as is” basis. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, guarantees or conditions with respect to your use of the datasets. To the extent permitted under your local law, Microsoft disclaims all liability for any damages or losses, including direct, consequential, special, indirect, incidental or punitive, resulting from your use of the datasets.

This dataset is provided under the original terms that Microsoft received source data. The dataset may include data sourced from Microsoft.

Fire Calls-For-Service includes all fire unit responses to calls. Each record includes the call number, incident number, address, unit identifier, call type, and disposition. All relevant time intervals are also included. Because this dataset is based on responses, and since most calls involved multiple units, there are multiple records for each call number. Addresses are associated with a block number, intersection, or call box, not a specific address.

311 Cases include cases associated with a place or thing (for example parks, streets, or buildings) and created after July 1, 2008. Cases that are logged by a user about their own needs are excluded. For example, property or business tax questions, parking permit requests, and so on. For more information, see the Program Link.

Volume and retention

This dataset is stored in Parquet format. It is updated daily with about 6M rows (400 MB) as of 2019.

This dataset contains historical records accumulated from 2015 to the present. You can use parameter settings in our SDK to fetch data within a specific time range.

Storage location

This dataset is stored in the East US Azure region. Allocating compute resources in East US is recommended for affinity.
