Not surprisingly, this small but immensely rich city has a disproportionately well staffed fire department housed in splendid fire stations and equipped with a relatively large fleet of newer and very expensive apparatus.

It is a stark contrast to many similar sized towns with a fraction of their tax base, with run down fire stations, clapped-out old rigs and much smaller numbers of firefighters

Reflecting on the old adage that "you get what you pay for", it seems that a more equitable way of financing fire protection might well be something for State or County officials to consider more seriously...
