To the spouter who says we don't have enough fires to have paid

Wildwood - To the spouter who says we don't have enough fires to have paid firemen: The reason we have fewer fires now is because of the fire professionals that handle "fire prevention." It's like the reason why people don't drown when lifeguards are on duty. Years ago, there was no fire prevention and there were plenty of fires in town. Things are much safer now because of our professionals.
