When it comes to total call volume i believe the FDNY has the highest amount of calls. But a large amount of these calls are medical roughly 700,000 of the 1,000,000 alarms. In Detroit the fire department responds to roughly 500,000 fire calls not medical calls 200,000 more then FDNY also they respond to I believe it was almost 200,000-300,000 more structure fires a year over FDNY. Yet some how they have a much smaller budget, equipment that should be out of service and fewer firefighters.
You can email the FDNY commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta at http://www.nyc.gov/html/mail/html/mailfdny.html. This is a direct link to emailing him through the FDNY official website (www.nyc.gov/fdny). By the way I do not think that he will enjoy havng his name spelt wrong so please spell it the way I wrote above.
