Here in Tucson there is a firehouse on every corner, they even tore one down they just remodeled so as to build a larger one. They look as if they are resorts, the trucks just sit there, and they haul them out for every fender bender, I can’t imagine the expense. EMT’s are essential, but fire departments should be volunteer for smaller cities. Two weeks on, two weeks off, it’s like they have a sleep over at tax payers expense! I would love to use their facilities, the one downtown has everything you’d expect to find in a nice resort.
LOL.It’s the same story in every big city in America. Since 70% of all firefighters are volunteers who do great work, why aren’t they all volunteers.
