The structure of the job makes it very unlikely firefighters will want to live on the peninsula. They spend the night at the station with multi-day shifts on and long stretches off so long commutes don't grind them down the way they do daily commuters. It just makes sense to live out where you can afford a much more comfortable life.

I've also known people who have a similar arrangement at the Forest Service (living in nearby cities during their days off).
