Six fire or carbon monoxide alarms, six car accidents, three service calls, two building fires, one station coverage assignment, and one smoke or odor investigation were among the fire-related incidents that the department documented.
Additionally, the department reported one UAV callout, which was not counted as a separate response but rather was included in the total call total.
