That's not the way it is everywhere. I'm a volunteer firefighter and I'd say at least 19 times out of 20 my calls are for a fire. The other occasions would be traffic control at an accident or assisting EMTs with lifting a person.

Obviously depends on location, but normally only state-funded firefighters are performing the prevention duties (and have authority to fine people and companies).
