Volunteer / Combination / Paid on Call What’s the history/reason departments chose Tuesday at 19:00

I’ve noticed that a lot of fire departments, including my own, hold training on Tuesdays at 19:00. Obviously not every hall follows this schedule, but it seems like a pretty common trend. Does anyone know the history or reasoning behind Tuesday evenings being the ‘standard’ practice night, or how that tradition got started.

This might be a stupid question and I apologize if it is, just one of my weekly shower thoughts I suppose.

Oh interesting, the jobs with enough dignity to point out that they should be paid a fair wage get paid and it’s only the fire service gets taken advantage of? That’s strange that they magically find money for the services that realize that.
