Where I grew up has dedicated, paid firefighters that are part of the local government budget, along with EMS. It was wild to me when I moved over here that EMS is private and firefighting is volunteer. I can't say anything about the firefighting services, since I've not yet had to use them, but for sure the EMS response is quite a bit worse.

Our fire house has dedicated living space for the EMS crew as well with our own ambo. It makes all the difference.
