Would surmise that gas mileage is pretty bad - in the single digits for sure.

Of course, you then have to figure in that fire trucks spend HOURS idling while at fires.

Then there's the average distance TO a fire.

For a paper, I'd just guesstimate it - who's going to know the difference?

Daily Horoscope for November 16

Capricorn

New friends and faces can result from today's New Moon, so be open to the social possibilities it brings. You may be feeling pressure to keep up with the Joneses - perhaps your new circle of friends could be making you long for things you can't have at this time. If you're married with children, avoid hanging out with singles.Similarly, those who are single and long for the married life should think twice before joining an all-couples party.
