True, I guess they weren't pointing out an article that might be of interest, or asking for your opinion on the matter, which I guess you gave - Toronto EMS better.
A wall of text from a totally irrelevant contact was what was requested.

I just thought the post might be of interest. I didn't mean start a fight or compare service delivery models.

Toronto EMS better.

If you say so.

I would say different.

As in, different Call Volumes require different service delivery models.

They get a lot of out of town applicants.

So does TFS.

I found it interesting that fire fighters with many years experience with a full-time fire department elsewhere were willing to leave to pursue their “dreams” as they put it and work for Toronto Fire. It made me feel a little bit special that I have been a part of an organization that others envy and want to be a part of as well.

While Toronto EHS and TFS offer commendable benefits packages, the ROC can not compete, nor should they. Toronto is struggling with a budget crisis, despite having an ideal population density and defined geographical area, compared to the ROC. More than 80% of Canadian firefighters are volunteers. In an effort to control costs, more than a third of provinces have contracted out their EHS services.
