The first quarter of 2025 has seen Port Hardy Fire Rescue respond to 46 calls.
That comes from a first quarter report by the fire department, which highlights their operational status, calls, community involvement and training.
According to the report, the top number of calls was 33 per cent with false alarms, with 11 per cent were for fires in brush and grass fires, and medical assistance calls and motor vehicle accidents holding third place with nine per cent.
Several service members also participated in safety and training during the first quarter, including courses in basic first aid, life safety rope inspections and recruitment orientations for new members.
They were also able to recognize Lieutenant Gunson with his 30-year medal, provide a sendoff for the Wounded Warrior Run, and entertained an after school class at Fire Hall 1.
