Don't they have paid firefighters for the rich and volunteers for everyone else? I think I remember hearing about Oprah's property being protected first when Hawaii was burning last. I would expect something similar in California. Money talks.

It's not volunteers actually, it's prisoners being used as forced labor https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/08/la-wildfires-incarcerated-firefighters

You mean slaves?

IIRC i read somewhere that these prison people volunteered, actually.

Most of firefighters in California, at least those fighting wildfires, are prison inmates, which is constitutionally slave labour.

That is all true, but I think OP is talking about news channels monetizing wildfire
