I Should Have Been A Firefighter

[Mike Johnson]

As the victim of a felony arson attack, I owe the local FD a lot. If they hadn't arrived quickly, my house might've been damaged. If they hadn't arrived at all, my house might've been destroyed.

So, two points.

First, does a fire department provide a net benefit? Do they save more in value than they cost in dollars? If they do, they're more than earning their pay.

Second, if it's such a crazy good deal, all those people who think it's outrageously generous should become firefighters. Put up or shut up. Really.
