It's been one of the quietest years ever in terms of fire calls in International Falls.The Falls Fire Department responded to just 34 calls in 2012, 12 involving structures and no fatalities
Fire Chief Jerry Jensen credits residents who've become better educated about fire safety and a city program to rid itself of derelict buildings.
The department, though, has started 2013 busier than last year with 8 fire calls in January.
