July was a little bit quieter for the Williams Lake Fire Department when it came to calls for service.
In June Deputy Fire Chief Brendan Foote said they responded to a total of 53 compared to 43 for all of July.
“8 of them were fire calls, 13 were false alarm calls and the rest were random different situation calls. In July of 2024 it was the same as this year, we had 53 calls so we had 10 less. I think this has been a little bit of a cooler, wetter Summer than the previous year so that’s probably why it’s the main reason we had a reduction in calls.”
To date up until July 31, the Williams Lake Fire Department has responded to 283 calls for service, last year at this same time they had 324.
