Brockton has the tenth highest demand for firefighters out of hundreds of fire departments surveyed nationwide, according to a new study.
Fire Cash Buyers, a Connecticut-based company that buys fire damaged houses in the U.S., published a new study that analyzed data from the Firehouse 2021 National Run Survey to determine which cities in the U.S. had the highest demand for firefighters.
Using the number of 911 calls and comparing them to the total population, investors at Fire Cash Buyers found that St. Louis, Missouri had the highest demand for firefighters, followed by cities in Texas, Florida, Maryland and Iowa.
Brockton ranked tenth highest and was the only city in Massachusetts to appear in the top 10. A total of 230 fire departments took part in the 2021 survey, representing 41 states, the District of Columbia, and three Canadian provinces, according to Firehouse.
