WOW!!! not enough firefighters? then evacuating the locals rather than having them help.
In Switzerland, it is common for compulsory fire service duty to be required of both men and women, whether or not they are Swiss. Most fire services in Switzerland are so called Militia Fire Brigades (Miliz-Feuerwehr). ... Currently 95,000 men and women serve as firefighters in 1,500 fire brigades (Feuerwehrkorps).
