I will never need a fireman. Ever. The odds of a house fire that starts with no warning, and spreads past my ability to deal with it by myself, are so small they're almost zero. If you don't do stupid stuff, like have gasoline-soaked rags lying around, or 1920s wiring, have smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, it's just not going to fucking happen. But because their jobs depend on it, firefighters make a fetish out of petending that instant death lurks for anyone who doesn't give them whatever they want. The politics of closing a firehouse, even if it's not needed, are incredible. They have a really tough union. They're greedy dishonest pigs, and I'll bet they suck each other off in the firehouse at night.
