“From our response perspective we have noticed an increase in our overall calls volume, which is something that we typically see in cycles,” he said. “We are at about 1100 calls so far, so that is a considerable increase over the last year.”
Everitt said structure fires saw an 11 per cent increase with 64 in total. He said vehicle fires increased by 20 per cent and wildland fires also increased by 11 per cent in 2015.
