Green Sta 55 has 4 vehicles

https://greentwp.org/departments/fire-ems/station-55/

near cincinnati

they have 1 pumper + 1 amb + 1 pickup truck + 1 1 hazmat trailer

now imagine if they were part of the National USA FD - they could have
4 medic amb quints - all 4 would fit in the station - if there was a
disaster they could respond 4 times stronger than they can now

how hard is it to build a medic ambulance quints? I have seen enough
top mount pumps to think that it is very easy to build a medic
ambulance quint

or - they could have 1 pumper and 3 ambulances - what do they use the
pickup for? buying groceries? why not have an ambulance? cant an
ambulance carry hazmat tools? take out all the hazmat tools and VOILA
you have an ambulance

bottom line - staffing is VERY VERY expensive - in comparison -
vehicles and stations are VERY VERY cheap

most US FDs are severely limiting their capabilities with their present vehicles

is the FD purpose to 'protect and serve' or to "kill as many as
possible without getting caught"?
