If I was running the department, that’s what I’d do. Mayor cuts your funding a shit ton, rich dude is saying any price to protect his home, charge a shit ton and borrow a tender and maybe an engine and protect dudes home. Where I’m from we have a wildland setup which is a fuck ton of sprinklers and weaping hose and shit like that. Would cost very little and would make a lot of money.
But then again, I don’t run a department, so I have no idea what I’m talking about
Why? What was there that I said wrong? There’s tons of reasons I don’t run a department, but I don’t see how sparing an apparatus or two and a few fire fighters for 10 mill is the reason I don’t?
And how is a business deal bad ethics? Care to give more than a 1 word response or is that all you got? Dude wants to buy a service, I wanna provide a service so I can make the department money so I can provide a better service?
When fire control shifts towards privatization/business/for-profit, you can’t imagine anything bad with it? Public works should not EVER be allowed to be bought/prioritized by billionaires
There's apparently too much to explain. A fire department is not a business. I don't even feel like teaching you. Just look up the #1 rated book on ethics, and read it.
If your argument is based off a book you can’t name and is “too much to explain”, it is 100% a bullshit argument that you don’t know enough about to support. Don’t use that weak ass cop out, you aren’t some magic genius with hidden knowledge. Do enlighten me with your magical wisdom. I’ll enlighten you with some mind blowing stuff, a business is something that does a service in exchange for goods or money. Believe or not, firefighting is the service, and the goods is the money paid by the tax payers. Crazy right? Crazy how I think a business like the fire department should spare very minimal resources for 10 million dollars that could be spent on things that would help better serve the tax paying community. But yea, you take the high road Mr.Im so ethical I read books about it.

“Will pay any amount” Now that’s my kind of billing. $10 million up front and I’ll “borrow” the tanker and a few guys and make the drive.
