Xplorer explained it very well, but just to summarize, a lot of major cities house only one engine and one ladder ( quint, tower, whatever you want to call it) and only 1-5 rescues per city. It may take longer and would pull a rescue out of service to handle a little accident with no injuries and just having to pop the door. With ladders carrying the extrication tool they an arrive on scene quicker and most often the engine will take care of the ems part of it, and like xplorer said, if needed a rescue can be called for more equpiment.

i have 2.0 and it works fine

it depends on what type of air bottle you are using and amount of capacity. They are on average about 35 pounds..Full gear and equipment is about 100 pounds- but it does not feel that much when you are working as you are working hard. I'd suggest going for it and becoming a firefighter, try to find a local volunteer department to test it out. It's a great service and potential career!
