Seems to me that compared to prior years, in 2021, we are seeing an increase in the percentage of working fires occurring from Midnight to 6 am compared to other time periods with a decrease from 1200 hrs to 2400 hrs. See below:

Time Period	10 -75 and Above 2013 to 2017	10-75 and above 2021 1/1 to 6/20
0000 to 0600 hrs	14.00%	20.00% +6.00 %
0600 to 1200 hrs	20.00%	21.54% +1.54 %
1200 to to 1800 hrs	39.00%	33.85% - 5.15 %
1800 to 2400 hrs	27.00%	24.62% -2.38 %
Total	100.00%	100.00%

Comparing five whole years (2013 to 2017) against less than six months of one year (1/1 to 6/20/2021) can explain that. It's like trying to compare last year to last night. The samples should be similar.

Indeed. Close to 162/82/23 at least.

Agreed. So lets compare 5 months for the years 2013 to 2017 to the first 5 months for 2021. Pattern is similiar. I am using the NYC Open Data Fire Incident Dispoatch file to obtain the data.

Time Period	10-75 and above 2013 to 2017 1/1 to 5/31	10-75 and above 2021 1/1 to 5/31
0000 to 0600 hrs	6.80%	20.00% +13.20 %
0600 to 1200 hrs	25.00%	21.54% - 3.46 %
1200 to to 1800 hrs	43.44%	33.85% - 9.59 %
1800 to 2400 hrs	24.76%	24.62% - 0.14 %
	100.00%	100.00%

If this is NYC wide and not just staten island then I would say the fact that everyone has cell phones and the amount of people out during the day...especially the last year and a half being home all the time has contributed to those numbers

I tend to agree with you. But these numbers are also including pre-COVID data. In my opinion it's cell phones. With cell phones being everywhere, people are able to call in fires even quicker, which then get controlled quicker, so no need for the 10-75 or All Hands. They arrive quicker and get it with 1 & 2 or 2 & 2 for example. But during the sleeping hours, not as many people are awake so the fire can get bigger before being reported.
