Montgomery County firefighters see 300% call spike in winter storm’s aftermath

Last week’s winter storm led to thousands of calls to firefighters in Montgomery County, according to officials. Starting Feb. 14 and lasting for the next five days, county firefighters responded to 3,132 service calls, reflecting a 300 percent increase compared to the same time last year. This included a 24-hour period with emergency calls exceeding the 1,000 mark — five times the county firefighters’ daily workload, according to the Montgomery County Fire Marshal’s Office.
