        Tain't nothin' wrong with protecting your investments. Private security exists. This is simply another facet of the same gem.

        Brilliant! Anything we can do to help put out fires is better than doing nothing at all. Additional services can never be a bad thing.

        So they paid for a service? If I had that kind of money I'd pay for it too.

        The firefighters do a great job but I doubt they would resist help ... gives them an opportunity to focus elsewhere

        Foolish thinking @wsj ! Program means resources are free to help others rather than protect homes of rich. Rich subsidizing public service.

        If the homeowners paid extra premiums for that service, it shouldn’t be an issue .

        I bet what the rich people pay to be insured is worth and the insurance comp. take advantage of it...that’s call “make gd business”.

        Great idea! Private sector always runs more efficiently and for less than the government does. Bureaucracy has too much wastefulness.

        These private firefighters are only allowed to “prep” the structures. When the fire hits, they are gone and the pros take over
