There are approximately 7,000,000 firefighters (2,5 million career ones and 4,5 million volunteer ones), in some 60,000 departments with some 100,000 stations, operating some 70,000 trucks.

It may seem strange that our nation, which is extremely capitalistic in many areas, would nationalize this service. The explanation is simple: We got sick of having things burn (and fires spread) as building owners and private firebots spent hours trying to connive each other instead of putting out the blaze. Practically every nationalized service we have (road maintenance, other infrastructure, debugging,) was first tried as a private system and then nationalized when the private versions failed to do their jobs due to the weight of their own corruption. We generally like connivery being totally legal, but even we eventually realized that there are some areas in which it just doesn't work.
