JANUARY 15, 2016, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A11 Calls for Keizer Fire services hit new peak It was a record-breaking year for the Keizer Fire Dis- trict. District crews responded to 4,512 calls for service in 2015 compared to 4,132 calls for service in 2014. The increase marks the fi fth straight year the district has seen an in- crease in emergency responses. During the last ten years, KFD has seen a 35 percent increase in calls. Medical crews responded to 3,476 requests for emer- gency medical service. That category of calls covers people who are injured in accidents or suffering from medical conditions such as heart at- tacks, falls and strokes. District fi refi ghters re- sponded to a total of 71 fi re calls. Of that number, 29 were for residential fi res which include private homes and apartments. Other types of calls for ser- vice included 112 smoke, fi re or carbon monoxide alarms, 351 public assists, and 350 re- sponses for various types of other service calls. The district also responded to 152 requests for assistance from other fi re agencies. To manage the increase in calls for service the fi re district applied for two SAFER grants from FEMA in 2013 and 2015. The grants are designed to help departments provide adequate staffi ng to improve fi refi ghter safety and to serve local residents. Keizer used the FEMA grants to hire two fi refi ghter/ paramedics and three fi re- fi ghter/EMTs. The additional staffi ng has helped in reducing the strain on our emergency response system, said district offi cials. Keizer voters also approved a bond measure in November which is helping to replace aging equipment and vehicles. CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT CLASS KEIZERTIMES/Eric A.

Vincent by pin in 17 seconds; Kibbey by pin in 27 seconds; Nick Her- nandez in a 10-2 major de- cision; Jon Phelps in a 14-1 major decision; B. Ebbs by pin in 2:52; C. Vincent in an BOYS, continued from Page A10 Senior Harry Cavell led the team with 19 points, Is- may put up 15 and Trent Van Cleave had seven. Goff led the team on the boards with eight rebounds, Ismay had seven. “Coming back from a loss you always have something to prove, and we were deter- mined not to underestimate them,” said Ismay. 11-3 major decision; Wyatt Kesler in an 8-0 major deci- sion; Bonn in 5-2 decision; and Keifer Smith by pin in 5:48. The Celts beat the Titans 66-9. Match winners were Brooke Burrows in a 6-4 de- cision; R. Vincent by pin in 42 seconds; Hernandez by pin in 1:05; Phelps by pin in 1:35; B. Ebbs by pin in 2:30; C. Vincent in an 8-4 deci- sion; Kesler by pin in 4:49; Jesse Gomez by pin in 3:46; Isaiah Putnam by pin in 2:48; Bonn by pin in 3:00; and Smith by pin in 33 seconds. “They looked good com- ing out of the break and those two duals looked good, but our last four duals will be our real challenge this sea- son,” J. Ebbs said. “The last four duals will be where the world can change. Each of them is going to come down to four or fi ve key matches.” It will be almost two full weeks before McNary gets another bite at the Saxon ap- ple – and it will have to main- tain an even keel through some tough opponents – but Goff expected the Celts to be a different team next time around. “We have to play with a bit of a chip on our shoul- der. They next time we face (South), they’re going to think they can beat us but it defi nitely will not happen again,” he said. GIRLS, continued from Page A10 “We put in a new full- court defense. It forced us to communicate a lot more, but our offense was a little rocky,” said Strand. After a 13-2 fi rst quarter, the Celts “let Sprague hang with them for the next two quarters,” said Handley. By the start of the fourth quarter, the Lady Celts had only extended their lead to 36-21. “It wasn’t bad, we just ex- pected more after the fi rst quarter,” Handley said. Hunter led all scoring with 23 points for the night, Hings- ton had 11 and Strand had 5. “I think I’m getting more confi dence to shoot, I’ve had a few games where I’ve strug- gled this year but it was nice to see the shot going in against Sprague,” said Hunter. She was only nine points away from the school record.
