While on scene at the Perrydale fire, three medical calls
came in. Welsh said Salem ambulance crews had to be
called in to cover stations while emergency responders
were stretched thin.
Later in the evening, someone called to report another
fire on Clow Corner Road. Lucky for fire crews, it turned
out to be a legal bonfire and no response was needed.
“It was a very busy night,” Welsh said.
