- Template:Ping Not a full review, just pointing out that the wording of the original hook sounds like the volunteer department was replaced with 3,000 professional firefighters, rather than 3,000 volunteer firefighters being replaced with a few hundred professionals (according to the source). Maybe "replaced a volunteer fire department of about 3,000 firefighters" is more clear? 97198 (talk) 09:32, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- Template:Re Yeah, that sounds much better. Thanks, I didn't realize the wording may sound confusing (the BFD replaced the volunteer fire department, with the latter containing 3,000 firefighters, which I thought was what this meant). epicgenius (talk) 14:28, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
