Helsinki Finland - population 700,000

https://www.hel.fi/pela/fi/esittely/

Helsinki FD has 700 employees - they do fire and ambulance service for the city

Boston Mass has 700,000 also - but iirc - FD has 1400 employees and EMS has 300

So Boston spends approx 250% more for fire and ems than Helsinki does

Interesting

(Helsinki also has 15 volunteer fire brigades that back up the 9 paid stations)
