BURLINGTON, N.C. — The Burlington Fire Department put out its own version of the 10-year challenge.
But instead of using Facebook profile pictures, it compared response calls over the past decade.
The red bars in the graphic are fire calls, and the blue ones are EMS calls.
From 2008 to 2018, the department has seen a 69 percent increase in calls for service.
Last year alone, the Burlington Fire Department responded to more than 9,400 calls.
