And, I don't think it is just here where the volunteer firemen are about 40% (conservatively) drunks. It may be a northeast thing but...It's not just here.

I have always known about the drunks but since getting a scanner, I notice that you really don't want to need an ambulance around here either. I hear a tone for one ambulance company, when they don't answer, they try the next...etc. This once went on until they found an ambulance company 45 mins away that could respond.
