With a big police department, that means they get plenty of volunteers for the fire department
It really do be like that tho

Nah that’s what the inmates are for, it’s a tax savings strategy!

Hey we have a long way to go but we’re far better than a lot of other states as regards our incarcerated firefighter teams. The pay is abysmal but more than other states, and with the help of nonprofit advocates we’re making real progress on getting them into real firefighter jobs once they’re out. Importantly, some are seeing themselves appreciated and celebrated for the first time in their lives, which is a step towards rehabilitation. Something that hasn’t been a part of the US penal system in general for decades.

Are they allowed to join CalFire upon release?

They’re too coward. Can’t shoot or tase a fire out.

And somehow this one dude McClane still did better than the entire LA police department, even though they brought a fucking tank and McClane didn’t even have any shoes on.

The police are an income source since they can confiscate property and create legal slaves.
The fire department is pretty much a pure cost center.

Police are disguisingly overpaid. Firefighters should always be paid more. Full stop.

Would love to see a SWAT team try to raid a wildfire.

Lot of dead dogs in the confusion after someone yells “fire!”
