Wayland Police and Fire Log: Hurricane Irene Edition

Patch took a look at the calls that came in that were potentially related to Hurricane Irene. This log records damage and requests for help calls from Friday, Aug. 26-29.

Wayland's Joint Communication Center served as the main point of contact during Hurricane Irene as people called to report trees and wires down as well as other storm related matters. The JCC logged nearly 50 storm-related calls in addition to unrelated calls.
