Private firefighters go to work for California’s wealthy

A small contingent of private firefighters is protecting the homes of California’s wealthiest as the Kincade and Tick wildfires burn in both northern and southern California.

The cost is roughly $3,000 a day, and the private firefighters tend to focus on prevention measures, The New York Post reported.

However, private firefighters are more likely to contract with insurance companies like USAA to offer mitigation services to customers. Sometimes neighborhood associations hire private firefighters, according to The Post.
