18:51, 13 July 2013 (UTC) A count of the number of incidents North Shore Rescue has been called on over the an eight year period from 2003 to 2010 shows that the average is 55, and the maximum number of calls they have done in a single year is 78 (in 2005). The number of rescues peaked again in 2009. A normal year for North Shore Rescue is between 40 and 50 calls a year. The data is available on the Emergency Management BC web site. A claim of 90 calls is not supported by any evidence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.49.240.47 (talk) 18:51, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
