To the spouter in the fire dept. stating they are busier than busy, responding to over 3,500 calls last year, busier than Atlantic City with 1/17 the manpower: Please, cry me a river! One question, does a pick-up at a local establishment count as a run? With being so busy, when do you have time to sleep? I say you fabricate the numbers in your favor to justify jobs. How many fires did we have of the 3,500 calls you responded to? Are you firemen or public safety officers? If not firemen, perhaps it is time to cut your salaries in half and add twice the number of workers.
