So all we need to do is find a way to put people in prison!

Win-win!

Did you see how much they had to increase the police budget? Sadly there simply is no way we can afford to pay firefighters.

No no no no, that's too sensible

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 if time, they are just called upon as needed
