Message | It is not local departments that is the issue here. Currently the entire decision about fire prevention and control is left with local governments, meaning they could have no fire department, a volunteer one, a private one, subcontracted private ones or a public fire department. How could that be more efficient? How could no fire department at all be more efficient? Or a private one that only helps people who pay? |
