I can't speak for the US military, but the British form their brigades into battalion strength battlgroups or company sized groups. This seems to favour the idea of an elite fire brigade.
I envisage entire brigades being based around one full/overstrength battlegroup to while the rest of the brigade form cantonment security or reserve/rear line duties.
Better to have one full strength force than 3 under strength.
