I'm sure they have the ability to prioritise calls

Could be an advantage if they are already out on call means they

Rubbish.

Nope, he's right there, they are all dressed up
for the event when out rescuing a stupid cat.

They could just be dressed up all the time

Not practical with fire proof clothing.

So you're suggesting they put on fire proof clothing to rescue a cat just
so they're ready for a fire that might happen?

Nope, that's the only clothing their employer provides.

Instead of just putting on the clothing anyway?

if it would mean they could save lives quicker.

It wouldn't. It takes time to get to where the fire
is, run out the hoses etc. They don't tear up in the
fire engine and run inside as soon as it stope.

Please rewrite in English.

Otherwise they'd move the fire station to that place

All the cats don't end up stuck up the same tree.

There is an optimal place for the fire engines.

The reality is that the fire station stays where it was
originally built as more houses and building get built.

Stupid idea.

You get to like that or lump it.

Not where the cat happens to be.

The difference is that the fire engine etc is already on the road.

Then leave it parked on a road.

Wont last long if they were stupid enough to do that.

It's also a bit of practice for new recruits. if you haventl the
skills
to climb a ladder to rescue a cat you shouldn't be relied upon to
rescue humans.

Those skills are learned as a child.

No child learns how to get another child down a ladder over their
shoulder.

It's not that difficult.

Sure, but children don't learn that, even in the scouts etc.

I never got told how to use a ladder, yet I can.

Not true of climbing down a ladder safely
with another adult over your shoulder.

Funny that.

Pathetic, actually.
