    Why the fuck are we complaining? less calls means less accidents! Last I checked, that was a good thing

    It's weird how they are upset that their isn't more disasters and injuries in their city.

    Its better to have and not need rather than need and not have

    A wise firefighter once told me the end goal of our job is to put ourselves out of a job. These guys are winning

    God damn it, you can't say this area do not need this fire station because of low responding numbers! It depends on the infrastructure, citizens and the potential of emergency situations in the area. So in one year no one needs the firefighters and in the other year you have alot more calls and emergencys!

    A fire station is like insurance... you pay for it hoping you never need it but you're really happy that you have it when you need it.

    I bet they would want a fire station if they had a fire in their house 😂

    If this station is removed, all it takes is one fire for the citizens to beg for it back. I'd let that house burn down if i were the city, then be like "i told you so".

    Yeah, Nebs, it's weird people are upset their station doesn't have more runs, but I have to tell you, they are not alone with this problem, if you want to call it a problem. I use to be a full timer of a city FD in Florida. We had 6 stations at that time, and out of the 6, only 2 had any runs to speak of. Most of the guys at one point or another had requested transfers to Station 5, in the getto, because they got the brunt of all the 'big' fires. Station 1 was their second in station, but no one wanted to be stationed there, it is their Main station, and during the day, was crawling with all the Brass.

    A volunteer service, or even a paid by call service could do the work of a career station less expensively, and can often get more crews on the road. Might get two, might get sixteen.
