Riley County Emergency Medical Services kept busy during Fake Patty’s Day earlier this month, but according to director David Adams, no major issues occurred.
Adams told commissioners Monday his department responded to 30 calls for service on March 7, with 23 of those calls considered directly related to Fake Patty’s Day celebrations.
“I think it was up a little bit from last year, but the weather was also pretty nice,” he said. “When I say possibly related to it, if they were at a house party, or if they were dressed in Fake Patty’s Day clothing, then we kind of go there, but somebody who is on the other side of town by themselves, passed out or whatever, we didn’t put two and two together there. We try to be as accurate as we can.”
