When the people want things like EMS, Fire protection, SAR, etc. enough to pay for it, it will appear.

Relying on volunteers to provide professional services has never been a very sound plan. Pay the people, cut down on the millions of dollars wasted on frivolous equipment and you'll have what people need.

Any community that's not willing to pony up for professional EMS and Fire protection, pretty much get what they deserve.

I'm not in any way knocking the efforts of the volunteers, my point is that you and your communities shouldn't have to rely on your volunteer efforts in the first place.
