fire station distribution is pretty good - hanscom has 2 fire stations
within a block of each other - thats a problem

if concord has paramedics - then they are brand new - first we have
heard of them

concord could put a quint als ambulance in each station - there is a
hospital right in town - they could have two one bay fire stations -
and they would have superb coverage

but they will probably build two or three 10 bay fire stations with 1
engine each - plus 1 ambulance on patrol

on the other other hand - some day they will get a drought - and the
entire town will burn to the ground in 2 hours - long before they can
even put in a mutual aid request for a 'forestry strike team' - which
will come from Springfield - oh too bad - your nice town burnt to the
ground - just like Los Angeles - (yes the strike team will come from
Springfield)
