This is only from my perspective having one dated one like 25 years ago
A HUGE majority of fire stations here are volunteer. Paid firefighters are extremely rare. But it’s a physically demanding job so volunteers are rare. It’s also a very important job. So it attracts a certain type of person that thrive on that mentality of, “I’m doing a hugely important job, for free, look at me” sort of thing.
Most are good people but a lot make it their entire personality.
I think I’m missing some context. Someone please explain?
