=========================

this is probably typical for the usa - per the usfa fd registry -
https://apps.usfa.fema.gov/registry/summary -

Basic Life Support 61%
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) nontransport response 40.6%

[ not sure what that means - maybe 60% of FDs have cpr training - but
only 40% of FDs are dispatched to ems incidents ]

Advanced Life Support 21.8%
EMS ambulance transport 21.1%

[ this might translate to - 1 fd in county seat provides an ambulance
while the 5 volunteer stations that surround the county seat do not
have their own ambulances - thats seems to be right more or less] -
although it might be more like - some parts of the usa have lots of FD
ambulances - 80% of areas do not have FD ambulances
