Riverside Fire Authority announced today that its year end report shows it answered more than 4,200 calls for service in 2014, with about 87 percent of them involving emergency medical incidents.
“This continues a trend where the RFA has set new incident total record in each of the last four years consecutively,” the department’s spokesperson Capt. Scott Weinert writes.
There were 130 fires reported in their coverage area last year, according to Weinert.
The balance of the remaining responses consisted of fire alarms, hazardous conditions and other types of service calls (10 percent), Weinert notes.
Riverside provides services to the area from Centralia and the Hanaford Valley out to Garrard Creek.
