In 2019 the Sherman Volunteer Fire Department responded to a total of 399 calls. On average, firefighters were responding to at least one call per day for the entire year. Breaking down that total into categories shows 220 calls were EMS only, 138 were on the fire side and 46 required response from both fire and EMS.  As is the case each year, Sherman fire company officials say they could not have done this without the continued support from the community.  They thanked residents for attending the fireman's ball, donating as part of the annual appeal, participating in the boot drives and even just expressing appreciation.
