Rural Metro Crews Rang in 2025 with 9 Emergency Calls in Response Area
Rural Metro Fire Department rang in the first day of 2025 by answering nine 9-1-1 calls for service across its response area.
The calls ranged from various medical emergencies to a fire in Merlin caused by a candle left too close to a roll of paper towels to four separate motor vehicle accidents.
Rural Metro officials said one of the auto accidents resulted in a vehicle landing vertically in a ditch after rolling on Williams Highway. The driver was able to self-extricate and denied any injuries.
Meanwhile, Rural Metro reported 2024 ended with just over 2,800 emergencies handled by their firefighters and paramedics.
Rural Metro embarks on its mission in the new year to be prepared and responsive to the needs of the community, no matter how big or small.
