I’m sure I could justify needing “helpers” in my job too, doesn’t mean I’m going to get them though because I work in the private sector. I would have no problem with the ambulance calling out the fire truck if they needed the jaws of life or something they don’t have, but every single call- they roll a big fire truck-seriously![/quote][/quote]
1. They aren’t “helpers.”
2. If the ambulance gets there first and determines that they don’t need the additional personnel/equipment, they will cancel the engine. It’s important to remember that very little extra money is spent when two vehicles respond — they respond within small areas, so don’t use much more gas, which is the only additional expense.
3. I’ll bet your job doesn’t involve matters of life or death. If it did, you’d have access to all kinds of “helpers.”
