  1.  @WildDisease72  So I guess the public firefighters aren't paid by the hour? Oh wait, their union contract they paid off politicians to pass does exactly that. If anything, public labor union members are hired guns who wouldn't lift a finger without sweetheart contracts obtained through corruption and payoffs.

  2. So which union do you belong to? If you do, disclose your bias before commenting...

  3. @Wazi R How do we know their decision to light a backfire wasn't the best decision in the first place? They refuse to coordinate anything, so that's what they get. Maybe we should eliminate CalFire as an organization. It sounds like unions have infected the entire firefighter infrastructure and rotted it from the inside out.

  4. Liberals: Big businesses use too many public resources! Businesses: Okay, we'll hire our own firefighters so we won't be using public resources. Liberals: I'm gonna figure out a reason to be against this...

  5.  @oscarosullivan4513  Well we see who can't afford private fire protection...

  6. Uhh, no. That is not even remotely what is going on.

  7. Or conversely, the "pros" (a/k/a union members who bankroll politicians) can focus on other areas and serve the public because private firms are protecting commercial properties. Are the cops going to start protesting the Walmart loss management people next?

  8. Nah, they won't let anyone outside of their club in on the encrypted radio frequencies. Amazing huh? Taxpayers fund millions in radio systems and they encrypt comms so nobody can monitor what they're doing.

  9. Most unions have volunteers go out on spying missions to try and intimidate the competition. I assume that's what happened here.

  10. These aren't houses. They are private businesses. First the American left wanted to defund the police and allow rioters to destroy your business. Now the left-wing public labor unions want you to go unprotected during a fire so that can destroy your business. You people are sick.

  11. I'm not sure what you expect them to do. I'm sure they would save a person's life just out of humanity, but they're not going to fight a fire in another structure. Do security guards at local businesses just start looking for shoplifters in neighboring businesses for the fun of it? By the same token, do firefighters in your city respond to calls in other cities just because they want to be extra good at fighting the fire? Wtf?

  12. Ha, the corrupt public union kingpin they interviewed is concerned with "profits," while all he advocates for is his members to profit off the taxpayers while collecting dues to influence politicians in Sacramento. Public labor unions are the bottom feeders of an already bottom-dwelling labor union world. These slugs even lobby against VOLUNTEER community firefighters because they want them eliminated. Meanwhile, the private firefighters aren't stopping the state from hiring new public firefighters – but the state is broke because they've already taxed residents into oblivion and have no additional revenue streams to open up.
