    Fire departments are funded by local taxes or staffed by volunteers.

    There isn’t a massive for-profit firemen corporation that controls departments across the US, to the best of my knowledge.

      It wasn’t massive by today’s standards, but we did actually used to have for profit fire departments funded by insurance.
