How many firefighters do you have and how much area do they cover?

What structure is your dept? Paid? Combi? All vol?

We have 2 paid mon-friday days and appx 20-25 active ff's covering a response area of appx 15 - 20 sq miles. We do appx 550 calls a year including all rescue and fire calls, in addition we provide a supplemental R-1 service for the local volunteer ambulance service.

If you want to add some humor to this post, let's include budgets!

[WaterbryVTfire]

Population: 5000
Area: 50 Sq. miles
Firefighters: 45 POC/4 Jrs./8 cadets.
2 stations

Also cover/mutual aid agreements for 3 other towns. Which could add 100 or more sq. miles to our "area".

Budget: Roughly $1500.00 per year from township; town provides insurance and utilities, maybe another $500 if we ask nice. Remainder ($3-4,000.00 a year) from fundraisers. Kinda slim, but we get by.

We primarily stay in our town, but do occasionally get called for mutual aid (we're the only volunteer department in the area). We do respond on wildland fires statewide though both with our frontline engine and our state OES engine. We've even respond out-of-state occasionally (Arizona about 4 years ago).

We cover 10 miles of Interstate 95. Our coverage area is approximately 100 square miles and has a population of approximately 1200 people. We also do mutial aid for 4 surrounding districts. We run between 140 to 160 calls a year. I've been on for 5 years and I think our lowest was like 120. We have 20 people on the roster.
