1. My first question was "how many firefighters are there currently in the US?"
2. "How does that number compare to other countries?" "How many firefighters are there in each state?"
My final question was "Which state has the highest number of firefighters per capita?"
3. At first I tried to broaden my question, but then realized it was getting harder because I am less familiar with other countries. With that I then began to narrow my question within the US and it I found it easier to expand on.
4. My final question is unique and interesting. It is fairly complex but with more work I could definitely come up with a more complex question.
5. Other questions that might help expand my idea are: What other way can the amounts of firefighters in areas be compared and how do the results compare to amounts of police and EMTs in that area.

Your question does grow more complex in terms of the statistical data you seek, but if you are less familiar with other countries, that should give you an opportunity to ask different questions. I also find it interesting that you thought it was harder to develop questions about other countries because if you don't know about something, I wonder why it's not easier to ask questions.
What other types of questions could you ask about firefighters? Ifyou were considering other countries, here are a couple of questions that come to my mind:
what are the differences in attitudes towards firefighters from country to country?
How do other countries train their firefighters? What are the differences in training and how did those differences evolve?
These are questions that require facts, but also require delving into various opinions and analyzing those opinions with your own thoughts.
