One question...

Is not the "25% more runs" ALSO based on a comparison to cities with fire departments only? If so (and again, my intention is not to diminish the job you do) it *might* have more to do with the comparative analysis used as opposed the actual work being done.

But...considering the policy involving sending out a fire truck full of EMS personnel every time an incident occurs (which I'm not convinced is totally necessary), it's understandable that you might feel that you are undercompensated.

You might better understand if it were your loved one they were there trying to save. But since it is someone else, you think you can talk that way to people who work 24 hours at a time. Why don't you try to do their job and see how you make it.
