Same for firefighters.

"PAY people to sit around in case a fire breaks out?? That almost never happens! Also, ignore everything else they do. It's everyone's responsibility to keep fires out of their homes. We'll sell them a new one if something happens, though. And their neighbors. And THEIR neighbors. Also, literally buy a fireplace from us, please."

Ironically that was the case for a good long while, and has been the case on exceedingly rare occasion in the more modern era.
