During the month, we had 18 days where we had multiple calls. The busiest days were 8/20, 8/24 and 8/30 when we had four calls each of those days. We also had five days that we has three calls in a day.
Our last call for August was our 323rd call for 2026.
It was an exceptionally busy month for Wapello Community Ambulance as well. They ended the month with 84 calls for service. The staff at both agencies, many of whom volunteer for both, are standing up to the test in a big way! We are grateful for the support of our area citizens and local governments. Stay safe folks!
