This August, UCFD#1 crew responded to a total of 619 calls for service; 444 of these calls (72%) occurred with at least one other emergency in progress, stretching our resources and available personnel.

Crews responded to 498 medical calls - including 27 motor vehicle accidents - 19 fire calls, 44 good intent calls, 26 service calls, 27 false alarms, and 5 hazardous conditions. UCFD#1 averaged 20 calls daily, a 21% increase from August 2024.

UCFD#1 requested ambulatory resources from surrounding mutual aid agencies in six of these incidents. Thank you to those agencies for their ongoing assistance when our resources are stretched thin.
