If there’s a dangerous situation unfolding in San Diego the odds are crews with the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department are on-scene.
Team 10 discovered the number of responses crews make across the City of San Diego are up by tens of thousands from just a few years ago.
"What used to be a busy station, looking at nine to 10 calls a day, now that's an average station,” said Chris Webber assistant chief over emergency operations. “A busy station is 15, 17, or more calls in a day.” Webber’s been with the department for more than two decades.
