Here is our March 2025 monthly recap. We continue to see increases in calls for service in the first quarter of 2025, a trend that could potentially produce a record response year for the Columbus Fire Department.  Emergency medical calls remain the largest call type for our agency and aligns with the national trend for overall fire service call types. Be on the lookout for our April numbers in the coming weeks ahead.
