What are the city services they provide?
Most importantly, how do they make money? We wanted to see which services are most profitable from a fiscal standpoint.
The most profitable for us was the City Fire Department, since it brings in a lot of revenue, but also provides critical services.
How are they making money?
When they are on a regular business day, the fire department operates three ambulances, 22 ambulances and a large fleet of ambulances and four private vehicles that it leases.
Each ambulance has two engines and four ambulances.
In terms of services, they have an EMT, a paramedic, and an ambulance operator.
For example, firefighters may respond at a scene of a car fire but may not be able to enter the residence of the person who is being treated.
That’s not uncommon either.
So how does the fire department make the most money?
The majority of revenue from the fire department comes from operating two ambulances, which costs about $4,700 for 15 minutes of service.
