<br />
<br />EMS calls represent an ever-growing portion of the workload for HFD. EMS workloads should be
<br />a primary consideration for long-term planning, and stations may need to regularly accommodate
<br />multiple EMS vehicles and their personnel at a single station. HFD may also see an outsized
<br />benefit of continuing to recruit employees who can serve the dual Fire/EMS roles.
