EMT/Fire Truck
I understand that the fire stations may be located closer and can get there before the EMT, but I still don't understand why they need to run an expensive fire truck and four or five men, that takes the fire truck away from the station when they might be needed for a fire call, which is equally important. Why not have one fireman with EMT ability respond in a small truck or SUV. I am the first that would want the best care in an emergency situation, but it looks like it could be delivered cheaper and just as well by considering cheaper options. I realize it is standard procedure, but following the lead of everyone else may not be the best option. Just my thoughts.
