As for fire, that's an interesting question. FWIW, the townships run a fire program that is significantly different from our programs, it's volunteer, non-full-time. That is the kind of differentiation that tends to get lost in amalgamation.
If libraries are run differently in the townships, and transit is run differently in the townships, surely we could run fire services differently in the townships as well.
Maybe, but the fact that it must be run differently means there's likely little savings to be had, and while it might be possible to run things differently, it's also something that could instead get lost.
