The emergency responders of Bay City have been keeping busy in the midst of a heavy blowing rain and wind storm. Bay City Interim Fire Chief Karey Prieur estimated his crews have responded to 150 to 200 calls since yesterday afternoon. "They're piling in on us right now," he said. "We're still going strong." The majority of calls consist of down wires, trees on wires, trees on structures and sparking wires, Prieur said. A downed wire fell on the roof of Skipper Bud's, 1809 S. Water St., sparking a small fire before crews quelled it. "We had it out in a hurry," Prieur said. "It's been busy," added Bay City Police Sgt. Will Badour. The boat launch at Veterans Memorial Park has been flooded, the sergeant said.
