Default Re: Should volunteer firefighters get paid?

IIRC there are around 12 people waiting to be dealt with all the fires just a few months ago, and yes the punishment won't match the crime.

Recently, a firey was caught allegedly.

In NSW at least over the last 20 yrs, 85% of fires have had some human intervention, be it deliberate, accidental (backburns might be in there), and suspicious.
So, yes, it is a big factor.
