Fire Departments
In a leaked report prepared by the Department of Not Being Able to Keep a Lid on Things, it has emerged that most of the country's fire services are considered to be dangerously underfunded. One of the worst is Lower Hamplewick, where the force comprises just three volunteers armed with water pistols. As they have no appliance, they have no choice but to attend all fires within a two mile radius on foot. For anything outside that radius the procedure is to send a bucket of water by recorded delivery.
This is in stark contrast to the neighbouring, and noticeably more affluent Upper Hamplewick, where the merest hint of smouldering is met with a crew of 24 men, a helicopter and six fire engines full of Perrier.
