Sure, but you also don't keep 1.3 million firefighters idling in case of a really big fire.

Of course you do, thats how fire brigades work!? Though you are somewhat right, its closer to only 1.1 million firefighters across the US.

Don't we? That is pretty close to the number of firefighters in the US, and they rarely fight fires
