The volunteer firemen in my town are highly trained and very competent. The problem is there aren't enough of them available during the day. They have families to feed. So if your house catches fire during the day here, forget it. The best they can do is muster one pumper with a minimal crew to keep it from spreading, your house is gone. On the other hand our paramedics are available 24 hours in numbers sufficient to cover most issues. I'd gladly pony up $$$ for full time firemen.
