Rich people and their own "better" firefighters?

Do you actually have a coherent point, or do you just have an animus towards people who have more money than you?

If I had the kind of money they do, I'd have my own private everything too

Rich people pay poor people to be surrogate mothers to their kids, ofcourse they're going to have private firefighters.

Is this a story of the ramifications of economic disparity in this country?

I remember a time when there was some stories of the local fire dept would not respond unless you paid a monthly fee or yearly fee.

Just viewing the news and seeing the properties in question............a LOT more by the
property-owners should have been done BEFORE the fires hit. Firefighters are a response to something that, for the most part, could have been prevented. You live in an area that regularly has some sort of natural-disaster, best to prepare for it.
