in short

2010 - new national fire law passed

2014 - FDs merged into 25 zones - each has 1 fire chief who reports to
a board of local mayors - requirement for 6 man engines to respond
within 8 minutes

lack of vols - failing to respond apparently - 2 man engines
implemented or proposed

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

based on what we see by creating the new zerg90 map - nothing much has
changed - there are still 80% paid on call firefighters - fire
stations are still 3 air miles apart on average - each station has at
least 1 full size engine (? TS6 ?)

very few combination stations (staffed by vols and pros)

we need to find better info somewhere - do they still aim for 6 man
engines in 8 minutes?

something tells me that they would melt down if they ever allowed an
engine to roll with a crew of one
