Just a quick reply - 1. Salaries are probably 95% of the Boston FD budget.
2. Therefore - the next question is - what is the best way to use the manpower that you have? 3. London FD has answered this question by cutting back on sick time and increasing fire prevention efforts. There fire death rates continue to fall. 4. Quints have advantages and disadvantages. Presently in Boston, whenever they brownout even 1 company - it creates a firefighting hole (gap in coverage) - more so than an EMS hole. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
