Motion carried. <br /> <br />Hugo Fire Department Annual Report – Fire Chief Jim Compton, Jr. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Jim Compton, Jr. presented the Hugo Fire Department’s 2025 Annual Report. The <br />Department responded to 488 calls in 2025. Of those, 204 were rescue assists with M Health, <br />including 21 cardiac arrests. Alarm calls continue to increase, likely due to the age of homes, and <br />the Department continues to educate residents. The Department responded to 36 structure fires, <br />19 of which occurred outside the City. The average percentage of medical calls among fire <br />departments is approximately 80%, while Hugo responded to 42% of medical calls, as the <br />Department responds only to major medical and lift-assist calls when necessary. They have <br />reduced call volume by limiting mutual aid and ambulance calls when their response would not <br />add value. Compton commended the medical direction and training received through M Health.
