Kentwood has no monthly call reports like Ottawa County's, so there are no 2026 totals before Oct 1. These counts are the calls 616 Dispatch has recorded since it began reading Kent County Dispatch Authority's live map, which lists a call only while crews are on scene. Short calls that clear before they reach the map are missed, so the true number of calls is higher. A daily chart appears after two weeks.
Kentwood scanner activity
616 Dispatch's scanner receiver heard 81 Kentwood calls on fire and EMS dispatch radio in the past week, most recently hazard at 6:14 AM. Each dispatch is transcribed with names and house numbers left out; there's no audio.
