| Message | ECA, how can the Federal Government that is based in St. Vodinsberg deliver fire trucks nearly 200 miles to put out a fire in MERIA??? Would it just be more EFFICIENT for the Local Government of Meria to handle the fires in Meria, and the Local government in St. Vodinsberg handle the fires in St. Vodinsberg [ :) ]!!! |

| Message | A national fire department does not simply have a single branch within the capital, it has multiple branches throughout the country. So your point is simply wrong. |

| Message | The CWFP does understand that a centralised fire department does NOT mean that ALL the fire engines park at that same place, yes? |

| Message | Yes, we understand that all of the fire engines don't park there, but WHY should fire safety be at the "perogative" of the Central Government when that is something that Local people will AUTOMATICALLY do??? Therefore, it is a WASTE of Federal Income Tax Likaths!!!! [ :( ] |

| Message | The local peopkle will fight fires either way. Having a central agency just allows for greater coordination when the issue is NOT local, and allows for greater flexibility of resources. |
