I agree that it is absolutely worth funding fire departments and paying the workers! In the US we have both "professional" (paid) and volunteer (unpaid) firefighters. The volunteers are almost always in rural counties. They have other, unrelated jobs, and are "on call" in their free time (they carry around a radio).
Well so are our volunteers :) They have daytime jobs + firefighters by night or on the weekends. And they are paid / compensated for their hours in the service.
Yours are not?!
