https://apps.alleghenycounty.us/website/MuniList.asp - list of 130
local governments in Allegheny County - includes listings of police
chiefs, fire chiefs, ambulance providers, square miles millages,
topography median home values etc - only 6 share same names - Baldwin
+ Elizabeth + Springdale
each one of these local governments has their own police and fire and
ems - except that approx 20% of them are served by a regional PD (not
the sheriff or county pd) - 10% are served by multi FDs - 35% are
served by regional ambulance services
unknown exactly how many do first responder service - but we can
figure it out - take the big list of total ems providers and subtract
out the ground ambulance providers- btw the state list of EMS agencies
is really lame - same for the county regional ems council - website
not updated for 3 years - yikes
looking at radio reference - there seems to be 50 police dispatch
channel and 75 fire dispatch channels and 50 ambulance dispatch
channels - plus a ton of backup repeaters and simplex channels -
mostly on UHF - with most DPWs being on VHF
maybe 50% of fire stations are staffed by volunteers - maybe 15% of
ambulance stations are staffed by volunteers - and of course the cops
shoot any police volunteers that they find
unknown how many fire stations actually have staff onsite at any given time
county PD patrols the 2 big airports and the 9 county parks and the
county blds downtown
county sheriff runs the jail maybe
we asked google AI if there were any fire districts in the county -
they said yes but did not give a SINGLE example - so they meant NO
actually - https://share.google/aimode/vOGcMrar3ROL3xgyS - if we check
this listing of 130 local governments above - we bet that there are
ZERO fire millages listed - each local govt seems to have just 3
miilages / tax rates - county + school + local
note - none of the FDs serve more than 1 local government - or maybe 1
or 2 do - but generally speaking - it seems that very very very few
FDs cover outside their home municipality
note - there are city and township and borough governments listed -
there are also two MUNICIPALITIES listed - Bethel Park and Penn Hills
- not sure what that means
only 6 of the local govts share a common name - Baldwin + Elizabeth + Springdale
many of the local govts have very similar names - but only 6 share
the exact same names - its not like Illinois with Bumville City and
Bumville Twp all over the place
