Those two statements don't click together in your mind? My small town volunteer company washed the trucks whenever they were used. At least once a week.

Beside which, their most recent report (2013) indicates nearly 15,000 calls. Roughly 150 fire related. 9,000 medical related. 3,800 service calls. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of calls is now over 20,000 per year. Add in training time and I can guarantee you that they are busy. Read the reports.
