Falls are a leading cause of serious injury for older Americans. As baby boomers age, the problem is only getting worse. Snohomish County Fire District 1 is trying to catch the problem before it gets any worse. "Falls are a huge, huge volume of our calls, we responded to approximately a thousand falls calls last year and those are people with injuries," said Kristen Thorstenson, a new community resource specialist who is focusing mostly on fall prevention.
