I will say as staffing has dropped, calls have continually rose. We avg around 10,000 something a year. My last round I felt like I did about half that personally....my ass was dragging at the end of the round.

250 per year and 95% of those are EMS related.

My dept. (Combination of full and part time personel) handels around 2000 fire calls and 2000 medical calls.
We have 2 ambulances for 39,5 square mile (+/- 40.000 people), 1 city. We protect 4 cities for fire emergencies
These ambulances respond from our HQ in Lommel. We have 2 stations, and the total protected area for fire is 89 square mile with +/- 73000 residentes.
We have chemical industrie, normal industrial activities and a large tourist complex.
We have 30 full time fire figters and 80 part time fire fighters in the 2 stations.

We're a small town volunteer department with a 100 square mile district. We run an average of 300 calls a year. We are at 175 now. About 75% EMS First Responder calls.
