firefighters in U.S.
All 20 members of the Camp Meeker Department

A majority of our calls are medical emergencies,
followed by problems created from fallen
trees.
92% of our emergency calls are handled with
the initial response from one engine and at
least four firefighters.
On average, we respond to a 911 alarm in 1.5
minutes, and are on scene in 5 minutes.
