I dunno what fire fighters you’ve met, but the ones I know get paid absolute dick to respond at all hours to about an 80/20 mix of “really stupid people doing really stupid things, often repeatedly” and tragic accidents. Out of all the issues to have with “the big state” the fire department is a weird one.

I mean, the biggest difference between the PD and the FD is that I can't think of a single instance in which a fire department official showed up to provide aid and ended up shooting the person who placed the call.
