Maybe, just maybe someone can ask the committee members if any of them know two things: 1) How much of the Fire Dept budget is allocated to EMS vs. Fire services? And, 2)  What percentage of training hours are spent on EMS?  I would be willing to bet that they spend a disproportionate amount of funds on "Fire Fighting" vs. EMS when the vast majority (75%+) of call are EMS.

Why do they take a ladder truck to medical calls?

When we have more EMS calls then Fires, why do we pay for so many Fire Fighters, their equipment, and training?  

Shouldn't the funds match the percentage of types of calls?
