The Caldwell Fire Department (CFD) responded to a steady number of calls during the July 4 holiday period, handling 121 total incidents between July 2 and July 6. These included ten fires, 68 medical emergencies, and 43 other calls for service. The activity was nearly evenly distributed across the five-days, with a peak of 29 calls on July 2.
Fire-related incidents that crews responded to:
Several of the grass and rubbish fires appeared to be linked to fireworks, while others may have stemmed from outdoor burning activities, despite a citywide burn ban currently in effect.
CFD crews provided medical support at several incidents, including multiple trauma calls, such as a shooting that occurred over the weekend. Crews also responded to a high number of alcohol related incidents.
CFD reminds residents to remain vigilant about fire safety, especially during the dry summer months when the risk of fire spread is elevated. The department also extends its thanks to community members for their cooperation and to our partner agencies who provided mutual aid support.
