In BR there are 19 stations and all firefighters must be registered EMT’s. There are only 8 ems stations. So FD can get to calls much quicker than ems and begin life saving measures. So I’m assuming if you or your family had a medical emergency you’d be glad they send that expensive pesky ole fire truck.

And trust me the calls that come in as a small cut to a finger turn into a severed arm by the time you get on scene.

Yeah, I didn't even count them in expenses. I just used the salaries of hairless gym rats that are issued medium sized shirts
