How big should the fire department budget be? (any FD - anywhere - any PD - any EMS - etc)
1. I imagine that more good things happen as the FD budget increases - until at some point you start to see a diminishing rate of return 2. One needs to look at the consequences of not spending"enough" on safety. If one does not spend enough on the FD - but the outcome is just a 2% increase in fire losses - then you really dont care if you spent enough on the FD. On the other hand - if you dont spend enough on the FD - and the whole town burns down - then you guts a major problem. 3. Another consideration. What are you doing with the money that your are not spending on the FD? if you are curing cancer with that money - that is good. If you are spending the money on magic beans - that is bad. 4.
