that is their estimate

not too shabby - I am sure they are working to up that number

27,000 FDs are listed

68% of the departments have 1 station.
17% have 2 stations.
15% have 3 or more stations.
52,000 stations are registered

add another 10% to that and you get the magic number of - 57,000 fire
stations in the USA

there are just over 1 million firefighters - that is 1 in 250 by my calculation

"Of the active firefighting personnel, 34% were career firefighters,
53% were volunteer firefighters, and 12% were paid per call
firefighters." -

- more than 53,000 stations - maybe this info is from ISO

this is a slightly different number than the USFA number
