I had an opportunity to listen to the head of this Department. It took me by surprise to hear him say that given the costs of fire trucks he was not about to let them sit idle. According to him 90% of calls were medial and 10% fire oriented. It would seem that given the critical response time for a medical emergency time would be a major factor. Perhaps I am wrong but it would seem that a fire truck would never be able to beat the response time of medical emergency vehicles??????
