(KNZA)--The Sabetha Fire Department has been especially busy over the past several days, responding to an unusually high number of emergency calls.

Since Friday morning, the department reported Tuesday that it has handled eleven separate incidents. Those included a two-vehicle crash that required extrication and involved thirteen patients, a mutual-aid house fire, a fuel spill, several false alarms, and more than half a dozen grass fires.

On Sunday alone, firefighters were dispatched shortly after noon, with many not returning to the station until early evening. During that time, crews were dealing with multiple calls happening at the same time.

The department thanked its firefighters and partner agencies for their dedication, noting mutual-aid responses with departments across the region and coordinated efforts with multiple EMS and law enforcement agencies.
