Calls
In 2008, SRLFD had over 876 calls. 53 calls involved fire. There were also 10 extrications. During the December 2008 Northeast ice storm, SRLFD ran 135 calls from 12/12 until 12/15. However, because of the high level of activity during the ice storm, certain things, such as removal of downed trees in the roadways, are not included in that amount. The true call amount for the ice storm is much higher.

Famous quotes containing the word calls:
“God has a very big heart, but there is one sin He will not forgive: if a woman calls a man to her bed, and he will not go.”
—Michael Cacoyannis (b. 1922)
“The birth of the new constitutes a crisis, and its mastery calls for a crude and simple cast of mind—the mind of a fighter—in which the virtues of tribal cohesion and fierceness and infantile credulity and malleability are paramount. Thus every new beginning recapitulates in some degree man’s first beginning.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“I shun father and mother and wife and brother when my genius calls me. I would write on the lintels of the door-post, Whim. I hope that it is somewhat better than whim at last, but we cannot spend the day in explanation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
