Boston is now 2nd most expensive FD in USA - San Francisco is number 1 ---------------------------- I looked at the 2007 Annual Report from the Columbus Ohio FD - very interesting - IIRC the stats were - 34 stations - 34 engines - 15 ladders - 5 heavy rescues - 34 medic units (ambulances) - 400 EMT & 400 paramedics - apparently the medic units are cross staffed by the engine companies - like the old St Paul MN system Columbus FD does a lot of mutual aid - I think they run a regional fire dispatch center also Boston FD apparently does not produce an Annual Report --------------------------- I was just thinking that Cambridge FD has several stations that could run as third due into Boston (Back Bay and Downtown and Allston) - Brookline could probably be first, second, and third due on many Boston locations Dont forget - "mutual aid" is 'mutual' - a two way street - a balanced equation - a win win situation --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
