Staff Writer The city fire department experienced the effect of the pandemic on calls last year, with total incidents down 10 percent overall, dropping from 2,209 in 2019 to 1,977 in 2020. The majority of incidents remained medical calls, but even those were down, decreasing from 1,458 in 2019 to 1,337 last year. Those figures were all part of the department’s 2020 activity report released earlier this year Chief Scott Mason attributed the drops to people not calling for help over fear of being exposed to the virus, plus less people were out and about due to the lockdown and less vehicles were traveling on the streets. Hazardous materials/hazardous condition calls were way down from 158 in 2019 to 116 last year and service calls dropped from 357 to 282. Hazardous condition calls can include gas spills, gas leaks, explosives or other materials.
