Most Calls in District at Once?

12 posts in this topic

As I am listening to my scanner, I hear that Yorktown has 4 open calls in their district. I am wondering how many many calls have you had in your district, all at once?

Thanks

About 60. Over 1,000 calls in 48 hours. During April 2007 storm.

I think that 4 turned into 8 tonight and about 20-25 total calls. All of our rigs were handling calls will full manpower, and our base was staffed too. We stopped getting toned out and 60 was transferring the calls via radio to our base over Fire 17.

edit: Over the 1.5 day period we handled approximately 50 storm related calls, 2 call outs for water rescues in which our water rescue team responded, 1 fire in a basement which was extinguished quickly, and numerous pump outs and vehicle accidents due to the weather.

This fall we (Potsdam FD) were operating at I believe 58 houses at once for flash floods. Not counting two apartment complexes.

I definitely remember those April 2007 storms... 18+ hours of calls with the FD, then went in for traffic control at the PD with Explorers.

just because his location says New Rochelle, doesn't mean he works there. He could work for another career department. He could live in New Rochelle. I don't know, that's why I asked.
