Hi Unionthug, I am not trying to be argumentative. Can you explain why fire/ems runs have gone up? I don't know the numbers, are they going up?

I will give you my guess. Many of the younger people who can afford to leave here and have little ties to the area have left. They have moved out leaving the older people still here. The younger people used to help the older people are gone. The older people who bought houses are stuck here in upside down mortgages. They can't afford to hire people to do the work they used to around the house so they attempt to do it themselves. They get hurt.

Although, It is possible many of the runs are due to people having a heart attack every time they get their tax bills each year.

Your thoughts?
