KPMG recommended that the City of Toronto explore merging Fire and EMS to save money. Council commissioned a consultant to study the operations of both departments and whether a merger was justifiable. The final report is at the link above; it's 300 pages, but a really interesting read.
Best part is, it firmly nails the lid on the coffin of the merger talks in Toronto. The consultants who completed this seemed to do a very good job of exploring and explaining the different operational philosophies of each department and how a merger would do very little to enhance either department.
