To play devil's advocate, and out of blind ignorancr, what's the alternative? Do nothing? Conscript the public?
Fund the bloody fire brigade
No no no no, that's too sensible
Did you see how much they had to increase the police budget? Sadly there simply is no way we can afford to pay firefighters.
Fluctuating demand makes the use of Volunteer firefighters more desirable
But reducing pollution and better environment management (controlled burns, removing dead brush, letting natural floods occur) will go further than any fire brigade
By the time they find volunteers it's probably too late but a proper fire brigade can get driving very soon after a call
Volunteer firefighters are gained ahead of time, they are just called upon as needed
Will their landlord volunteer the housing they hoard? Let this shit burn.
Not relevant to the conversation but the volunteers I’ve met have been good people so no
Who's going to wake the volunteers up and drag them to the fire truck?
Are you ignorant to the existence of volunteer firefighters?
They have a beeper and meet the fire engine at the call
Land value taxes to fund well-paid firefighters. Regulations on water usage, land use, and construction. Repeal Prop 13.
The country has plenty of able bodied and willing firefighters, just not enough willing to do it for poverty wages with a seasonal employment schedule. I used to work with a bunch of these crazy bastards in the off season when I was a line cook.
Take all the subsidy tax dollars that go to big oil and spend them on firefighter salary.
No, pay the prisoners for fucks sake. Also, a lot of people would want that money but its extremely hard to get a job if youre, for example, homeless.
