The month of August 2024 was quite busy for the members and career staff of the Millville Volunteer Fire Company. The company handled 82 fire responses and 290 EMS responses for a total of 372 responses, an average of 12 calls per day. 

On the fire side, we assisted our neighboring companies 11 times, responded to 30 automatic fire alarms, 7 CO (carbon monoxide) alarms, 2 gas leaks, 7 medical assists, 13 motor vehicle accidents, 10 miscellaneous type alarms, 2 outside fires and 5 structure fires. 

The ambulance service was busy as well and transported 168 patients to local medical facilities.  Other EMS calls included 20 assists, 15 cancellations, 6 deaths, 63 patient refusals, 4 public service calls, 10 incident stand-by, 2 transfers of care, and 2 unable to locate.   

Together, our volunteers and career staff logged 458.9 hours in service, 1745 personnel in service, 1408.6 personnel hours, and 8502.8 miles travelled.

This total amount of calls for August 2024 ties a previous month in 2010 in which the company handled the same number of calls with numerous calls coming from a Hurricane passing over the area.  No hurricane this month, just busy!
