How many support vehicles for you FD have?

While crusing the FD websites, I noticed that some companies have alot of support vehicles. One department only had 2 engines but 4 support vehicles, mostly chiefs and presidents sedans.
We have the state hazmat unit, a rescue 3 engines ambulance and field piece and only one support unit, a van. Are we doing something wrong? Should we get rid of a couple of engines and get a Tahoe or two....J/K
