sorry its taken me so long to get back to you.. Well lets see.... how many calls do we get a year? Fire Id say 150-200 - Amb calls we have had 198 as of today. Security (PD) related we have had over 1000 report calls so far this year. We are pretty busy for a 86 person dept. How about you?

Nope.. That is all on property. We have 3 facilities - 2 small ones and 1 big one. THe big one is 10 square miles so we can be pretty busy
