Wealthy dwellers of LA hire private firefighters amid catastrophic wildfires

Fires in the forests of California have reached a dreadful calamity, which has devastated the homes in affluent counties, with fires occurring in many places in the area. Amid such a trend, there is a demand from some homeowners who are willing to pay any price to save their homes, leading to a separate beef. Their last resort is the help of private firefighters.

The war of words became fiercer after Keith Wasserman made public his offer to pay private firefighters any price to protect his Pacific Palisades house. This story broke squares after CNN’s report.

The topic became very controversial, driving some posts into a frenzy. From this argument, many critics have stated that wealthy people should not buy their way to security. One TikTok user commented, “The one who saves his house should not depend on money.” It has created a huge demand for the fire department, which well-off individuals have used to combat it privately.

Structure defense companies like Allied Disaster Defense are spraying their customers’ properties with anti-fire gel that is capable of stopping a fire in its tracks. Tim Bauer, senior vice president at Allied, clarified that their fire department could provide timely services in Pacific Palisades fire. Over 200 people are lying in wait for this service.

Thus, generally, fire service would cost around $1,000. However, during the current wildfires, prices have risen to as high as $5,000. One homeowner allegedly offered $100,000 to be at the top of Bauer’s list.
