Carthage, NY: Police, Fire & EMS Scanner Activity

CNY Signal logged 93 radio calls in Carthage over the last 30 days, an average of 3.1 a day, and 94 calls over the last 90 days. That is 41st out of the 69 Central New York municipalities we currently cover.

Ambulance work dominates the Carthage feed. EMS accounts for 54.8 percent of the last 30 days, where the regional figure is 48.2 percent. The 6.6 point gap above the Central New York average is one of the things that separates Carthage from its neighbors. The rest of the mix runs Fire 16.1 percent, Law enforcement none logged and General radio traffic 29 percent.

The Carthage radio day starts early. The 10 a.m. hour is the single busiest, at 9.6 percent of the last 90 days, and Monday leads the week at 21.3 percent. Things are thinnest in the 7 p.m. hour.

One call type carries Carthage more than the rest: medical call, 47 times in 90 days, or 65.3 percent of everything we could classify there. Behind it come fire response (8), vehicle crash (4), fire alarm (4) and alarm (3).

Counted from the CNY Signal scanner archive, not an agency call log. Volume tracks how much of the time our receivers were up as well as real activity, so we publish shares, peaks and rankings for Carthage rather than period over period trends.
