Isn't that kinda an over-exaggerated response, if you only need one of them?

- dx4100 13y agoMmmm tax dollars. So tasty.
- maratd 13y agoYou jest, but that's actually the reason.
- hnriot 13y agothey assume the caller ins't qualified to make the right determination. Not only is the US a police state, but also a Nanny state.
- Zancarius 13y agoI admit that this is probably the consequence of living in a less populated state, but when they ask the nature of your emergency here (NM), the dispatcher typically makes a decision of what response is needed. All three are sent for most vehicular accidents for traffic control (state police, county sheriff, or city), fire suppression (volunteer FD, usually), and medical services (sometimes volunteer, especially in the county). Judging by the comments below, I suspect there's an advantage to living in an area that doesn't have tax money to blow. ;)
