2016 was a great year for Studdsville Fire Department.
We recieved 23,337 calls in total.
Most were small in nature, but in 775 cases a 2nd alarm was struck and in 450 cases a 3rd alarm or higher was struck.
The biggest fire was in the harbor and struck 7 alarms.
And we have been called out to assis M/A companies 307 times.
Also more then 12,000 calls for rescue in all variations.
Medical calls also have rizen to 4737.
The busiest company this year was Ladder 13 with nearly 5000 runs.
The least busiest was USAR 1 with 1 call, the bridge collapse.
But also the specialties were expanded and equipment was modernised.
Together with the city, new units were put into service, 16 new units were delivered and 2 were refurbished.
Also a number of new companies were estabished.
The new companies are:
- USAR 1
- Brush 1
- Marine 13
- Crash 1
- Crash 2
- Crash 3
- Rescue 8
- HIT 2
- Ladder 16
- Ladder 17
- Arson 2
- Arson 3
We hope to continue this positive flow in 2017, and we would like to thank everyone who supported our Department in any way possible.
Happy New Year!
