BCFD – It was another busy holiday weekend for our crews; here is a quick snapshot of the past weekend, Thursday, July 4th – Sunday, July 7^th, 2024.

Crews were dispatched to one hundred and seventy-two (172) calls for service. One hundred and twenty (120) of those calls were for some type of medical assistance needed which included 3 heat exposures. The remaining calls consisted of fire-related incidents, which included two water craft accidents, two vehicle fires, four motor vehicle accidents with injuries, eight reported brush fires and four structure assignments one of which is believed to be caused by the ignition of fireworks.
