I'm all for schadenfreude, but this isn't a logical inconsistency - he is demonstrating his money going to private industry rather than public services. Or at least, his desire to do so.
Usually private fire brigades ask a subscription to be ready or they are permanently employed to be on location on factory terrains for example. Turns out haggling over the price at the moment itself or fighting in court over the costs and damages afterwards doesn't work so great.
Oh no doubt. He's expecting a pre-established public service. But looking to hire a private service and not wanting to pay taxes for a public service is at least more principled than most Republicans today.
