Phoenix, NY: Police, Fire & EMS Scanner Activity

CNY Signal logged 108 radio calls in Phoenix over the last 30 days, an average of 3.6 a day, and 253 calls over the last 90 days. That is 39th out of the 69 Central New York municipalities we currently cover.

Most of what crosses the air in Phoenix is traffic we do not tag as EMS, Fire or Law: 48.1 percent of the last 30 days, against 21.5 percent regionally. That is typically unit to unit and dispatch chatter rather than a distinct incident type. The 26.6 point gap above the Central New York average is one of the things that separates Phoenix from its neighbors. The rest of the mix runs EMS 41.7 percent, Fire 10.2 percent and Law enforcement none logged.

Activity in Phoenix peaks across the middle of the day, at the 3 p.m. hour, which takes 8.7 percent of the last 90 days. Monday is the busiest day of the week at 22.1 percent. Things are thinnest in the 2 a.m. hour.

One call type carries Phoenix more than the rest: medical call, 89 times in 90 days, or 54.9 percent of everything we could classify there. Behind it come fire response (12), fire alarm (7), vehicle crash (6) and rescue response (6).

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 Phoenix rather than period over period trends.
