He reviewed <br />staffing, which has remained steady over the past years. They responded to 63 fire and service <br />calls in 2017. Alarm calls were at a slight increase, and the department will be increasing public <br />awareness efforts to hopefully reduce those calls. This was the second year using North <br />Memorial Ambulance Service, and the Fire Department responded to 99 rescue calls, with 16 of <br />them cancelled in route. There was an increase in call volume from last year, and calls will <br />likely continue to increase due to growth in the City. Colvard reviewed the training highlights <br />
