med call: station 7, batt, clark

[hurstrsq]

you may not have heard, but increased staffing, and improved equipment (among many other things) lead to an improved ISO rating for the fire department this year.

 

That is really good news for everyone.

 

They get called out for many ridiculous things - this morning engine 1 responded to an "unknown problem" with the smoke detector. Don't you simply call "Jim the handy man" instead of 911 if your damn battery needs to be replaced and you can't do it yourself?

 

Unfortunately 911 has turned in to a catch all any and every problem someone might have.
