Ogunquit (Maine) Fire Department began critically evaluating their data in late 2023. Chief Russ Osgood secured funding for the new Captain's position using their overlapping call volume data and other call volume data. Ogunquit Fire’s call volume, mutual aid requests, and overlapping calls bloom in the summer months.

Their data was compiled and available using a pleasing visual approach to make a compelling case for staff expansion. The impact of the captain’s position prompts the data to trend down in mutual aid call volume.
