If you have fire based EMS then that will account for the vast majority of your call volume, full stop. Accidents requiring extrication are rapidly decreasing as cars are becoming safer. Additionally, homes are becoming drastically less at risk of fire (to the point many municipalities now include residential suppression sprinkler systems as a building code requirement.)

As an anectdote, my district has around 10 miles of interstate and 20 miles of major highways. Our call volume is, in order of prevalence,: 1. Fire Alarm (Only 2 have ever been actual 'fires') 2. Medical Assistance (We are EMR, not EMS) 3. Grass fires / Trash fires 4. Accidents 5. Building fires 6. Something else

Our neighboring district has a ton of farms and little to no major roads. They may receive a total of 20 calls per year compared with over 300 in our station. (Both low volumes but the type of response is reflected.)
