More State of Nevada electronic documents.

Check out the Annual Fire Statistics Report for Nevada; the newest one up is from 2006. This highly detailed PDF gives the percentage of instances per fire department including the kinds of calls, the number and type of staff involved in every call, as well as any injuries and the cost of responding to each fire. Did you know 21.28% of all fires started in Nevada began in an engine, gear or wheel area? Or that a male is involved 72.41% of the time in a fire? The report also gives detailed break-downs of causes of fires.

As detailed as the fire statistics are, we can study equally detailed statistics of crime in Nevada in the Crime and Justice in Nevada Reports. Each PDF gives detailed crime information for each year. For example, in the state there is a murder every one day and fourteen hours, and one crime of arson every thireteen hours and forty-three minutes. The PDFs include detailed charts and graphs that compare specific types of crimes from one year to the next.

The Nevada Supreme Court publishes its advance opinions online here. Opinions are posted online for ninety days and are given in PDF and HTML format.
