Fire and police give monthly reports: fire department logs 454 calls year-to-date; police report low-activity month

Jennifer Weekly, visiting from the fire department, told the council the department hired a new medic this month and had handled 454 calls year-to-date as of May 12, including 102 calls in the prior month. She said the department had logged 129 hours of training in total (104 fire training, 20 EMS, 5 technical), one engine remains out for repairs for approximately one month, and the cadet program has about 15 young participants from local schools.

Law enforcement reported 175 hours of duty during the period, six calls in April, zero accidents, 15 traffic stops (with no citations and 15 warnings) and about 50 business checks. Council members asked routine questions about ticketing authority and the reports concluded with thanks.
