Note. aOR = adjusted odds ratio; CI = confidence interval. aORs measure the association between the firefighter reporting availability of the service and the firefighter being a volunteer. Each aOR used career firefighter as the reference group and controlled for department size and time in service. Bolded aORs indicate the aOR was significant at p < .05. Data presented as % (n).
