Serving a population of between 15-20,000 covering 48 sq miles of agriculture, and wildland urban interface. We ran a total 942 calls last year, and are already to almost 300 so far this year.

We cover 77 square miles, average around 300 calls a year, give or take 50 or so. 70% rural/residential, 30% industrial. The past few years it's been around 50% EMS, and 40% working fires, 5% motor vehicle accidents, 5% good intent calls. Population is, I'm guessing, around 6000.(haven't seen the latest census report)
