BILLINGS - Call volume has been steadily increasing over the years for the Billings Fire Department, but with Montana’s recent cold temperatures the workload has seemed to intensify.
“Unfortunately, a lot of structure fires,” said Battalion Chief Kevin Johnson. “We're dealing with a lot of slick roads.”
Johnson says the weather has wreaked havoc on their call load, keeping firefighters busy even fighting fires in18-degree temperatures.
“You know we're averaging 48 calls a day right now from the first year, you know we ran over 18,000 calls last year which is almost a thousand increase from the year before and a thousand before that,” he said.
