THERE were no fatal traffic accidents over the New year, although the government's 112 emergency service received 850 calls between midnight and 9am yesterday, and the fire brigade, ambulence service and local police attended to 150 emergencies typical of the time of year. A spokesman said that there was the usual number of traffic accidents of no serious consequences, and they also had to deal with people who had eaten or drunk too much, and public disorder, or vandalism. The head of the service expressed his satisfaction has to how the night had passed and said that the number of cases handled was up ten per cent from last year. He described the number of calls made to the service as high, but added that this showed that the population was aware of the emergency service and knew how to use it.
