2024 saw RMES attend 458 calls – the highest number of calls in our history: 215 medical calls, 108 fire-related calls, 106 rescues and 29 hazmat/other calls. Top medical call types were: Traumatic injuries, Falls and Breathing problems. Top fire call types were Alarms, Structure fires and Wildfires.
Fun fact: Our busiest time of day for calls in 2024 was 3pm and the busiest day of the week for calls was Sunday.
RMES members invested 20,562 hours in the community in 2024, training fifty times together in addition to attending calls, doing administrative work, attending courses and community events. It would take ten full-time paid fire fighters to do the work that our mighty group of professional volunteers did!
Over the past 46-years, RMES has had almost 260 members “answer the call” to serve our community. Last year we welcomed eight probationary members and said ‘see you soon’ to several retiring members – they will forever be part of the RMES family. Thank you to our members (past, present and future) and their families for your service!
We take the trust our community places in us very seriously and look forward to serving Redwood Meadows and the greater Bragg Creek area in 2025!
Until next month, stay safe!
