Spencer, IA (KICD) — Spencer Fire Chief Jesse Coulsen says call volume continues to increase – and it’s not all because of the flood.

Two volunteers resigned last month, one due to health and one because of relocation. 30 percent of the force is still displaced. Coulsen says the calls are still being answered and in a timely manner.

And that goes for emergency medical calls too.

Coulsen is currently working with Spencer High School and Iowa Lakes Community College to recruit new volunteers.
