2025 ~ another busy year—2,334 calls total!
We thank all of our firefighters and medical support that are here for you 24/7/365. Fire calls were ever so slightly up, and motor vehicle accidents (MVA) were ever so slightly down from 2024.
A new year is always a great time to revisit or create your family emergency plan: how to evacuate your home in the event of an emergency, how to contact loved ones if phone systems go down, weather apps for alerts, etc. Plan to be safe in 2026!
