Greetings from Picture Butte, Alberta.
I'm from a small rural combined service (fire/rescue and ambulance).
My Dept. consists of 23 volunteers. Most of us are EMR trained or higher, but no paramedics. We provide fire services to 3 other hamlets, our home town, and approximately 400 square miles of rural farming country. Our ambulance provides BLS services to that area and 2 other nearby communities. We have good working relationships with the communities that surround and support us.

Both stations I am at are nothing but volunteer. In fact we only have a few stations in the county have 2 paid personnel on staff 24 hours. I think all stations should have at least 2 paid personnel at all times for public safety reasons. Then there will be staff on duty 24/7 to answer calls and the trucks can get in route immediatly.

Hello! I am a Captain with the Dade County R-4 RFPD in Greenfield, Mo. I am in charge of a small station where we have a tanker, an engine, and 3 personnel. In all we have three stations in our district with around 40 firefighters. Of course as with most volunteer departments you have maybe half that are active.
