Over the Memorial Day weekend, BCFD responded to a total of 152 calls for service between May 24^th – May 27^th .  Medical assistance made up the majority of these calls, with 131 incidents requiring some form of medical aid. Additionally, there were 21 fire-related incidents, including one water rescue,  three water-related rescues with injuries,  one vehicle fire, one reported dumpster fire, and two calls regarding structure assignments.

As we reflect on these statistics, it’s crucial to emphasize the importance of prevention and safety. Whether it’s wearing a Coast Guard-approved life jacket near water bodies or prioritizing caution in all activities, safety should always be the top priority for citizens and community members.
