Field notes

The tracker combines a time counter with a source-backed incident log containing dates, times, targets, causes, outcomes, and links to local reporting. Its comparison points include 279 Columbus Fire vehicle-into-structure runs in 2023, 313 in 2022, and journalist Paul Meara’s 71 media-tracked incidents in 2025. Mapping uses OpenStreetMap data, with hollow dots placed by neighborhood when an exact street address is unavailable.
