Oh of course. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about, it seems like such a difficult and dynamic job it seems absurd for any governing body to essentially depend on volunteers to perform any essential part of that job.
Thank you very much for doing way more than your part, and especially at this point where every year there's more wildfires than there ever have been before in larger wildfires than there ever have been, governments better take the hint and start paying people.
Yeah, the firefighters here are well supplied, it's amazing that places like Canada and Australia don't have this sorted out already … and don't get me started on the lack of upkeep of electricity infrastructure causing fires in the US!
