14 square miles - 5,000 population
HQ has 2 people on duty in the station 24/7
there is 1 county / private ambulance in the area 24/7 also
cal fire has a station 1 mile to west - it has 2 engines and 6
firefighters on duty 24/7 in the summer - in the winter it has 1
engine with 2 firefighters on duty 24/7
there want more staffing
would be willing to bet there are 20 towns in Massachusetts with 5,000
population that dont have any paid firefighters - but I might be
mistaken
lets see - boxford has pop of 8,000 - carlisle has pop of 5,000 -
dunstable has pop of 3,300 - dover has pop of 6,000 - none of them
have paid staff afaik - none of them have a paid private ambulance in
town either
groveland calif is in a very high wildfire hazard zone - but eastern
mass aint so great either - wildfire has been excluded from the area
for 150 years
