5,000 calls?! Wow, that's a ton of calls. I haven't hit the thousands of calls mark since I left California. No, my department is a very rural small department, if we run 30 calls a year it's because the weather cooperated with the fire season. (Or didn't cooperate, depending on if you like fires or not.)lol The lack of call volume is a good thing for property owners but it does make keeping the skills honed difficult.
