I'd like to point out that when we are called it's usually in the most severe cases. It's not just because someone needs transportation to the hospital. We're called because there is a need. In the upper echelon of medical response, that's when they ask firefighters to attend, and that's in Barrie, where we're the first ones there 80% of the time.
