People have unrealistic expectations of firefighters, especially volunteer firefighters.
If your house catches fire, the fire has to be put out VERY early in the process for there to be anything salvageable left. People seem to think that the fire department can come and squirt some water at the house, then they can just go back in and go to bed in an hour or two. When the place burns to the ground because it was a dried-out ballon-framed tinderbox, or is uninhabitable and has to be demolished, then it's the fire department's fault... Hence the derogatory term, "cellar savers."
I'm sorry but to ask a volunteer to do anything but contain the fire, limit damage to surrounding buildings, and make sure the occupants of the house are safe, is asking too much. Even professionals should not be asked to risk life and limb if life and limb are not at risk (i.e. the building is empty, let it burn to the ground if need be).
Volunteer fire departments have enough trouble finding able-bodied volunteers (most seem to end up being old guys who have no business flagging traffic, let alone rushing into a burning building).
