They started going to EMS calls because they can respond quicker


Correct

We have an EMS / Fire Station around the corner from my office.
Twice we have had to call 911 for medical emergencies.
Both times the fire dept was there well before EMS, the 2nd time the fire dept pulled up as I was hanging up with the 911 operator.

It makes sense to have a few distribution points for police, EMS and firefighters so that they can quickly respond to emergencies.

Does each station need a chief? Why not have one chief for the Parish, one administrative office, and distribute calls to individual stations for a response?

St. Tammany Parish has 13 fire districts, and the Covington Fire Department, and each one has a chief. I wonder how much salary/benefits each chief draws.
