DeKALB – The DeKalb Fire Department saw a decrease in the number of calls for emergency services in 2020 due to COVID-19, Fire Chief Jeff McMaster said at Monday’s City Council meeting. 
McMaster presented the annual report for 2020 for the DeKalb Fire Department at Monday’s meeting. He said members of the DeKalb Fire Department were fully committed to serving the community in 2020, which was a “mysterious and challenging time.”
“Twenty-twenty was a year that everybody will remember, and at times, want to forget,” McMaster said. “What was remarkable about 2020 was how our community rallied around each other from every angle.”
