Beatrice Fire and Rescue is ending 2020 on a busy note, having set a record for the most calls for service in a year. On Dec. 18, the department tied its previous record of 2,822 calls for service, which was set one year ago. It ended 2020 with 2,949 calls for service. “From time to time we look to see what our call volume was compared to a year ago,” Daake said. April and May were extremely slow months for us and actually ended up being much slower than last year’s pace.
