The challenges of emergency calls

There is an old tradition for the public to go totally wild during certain times of the month and year.  These typically involve a large white ball in the sky displayed during the night, as well as during any national holiday.   I had never really believed it until my first come times having the holiday effect.  There are some holidays which typically result in more EMS calls, such as Thanksgiving, and Easter, often due to heart issues.  Then you have the holidays and unofficial instances that cause police issues.  These are commonly Super Bowl Sunday, Saint Patrick's Day, and of course the 4th of July.  These are all a toss up for fights, alcohol poisoning, or a variety of other calls.  This holiday was no different.  We had a called in bar fight.  We had an over consumption of alcohol.  We had a fight at a convenience store.  It was a barrel of fun, not!
