Deepak city has grown quite a lot over the past 10 years. The city council has been discussing the need for a second fire department so that one would say serve the northern part of the city. Any other would serve the southern part. The city doesn’t have much room in the budget, so some people are suggesting, privatizing the fire department, however others argue that it’s cruel that this would not work and it should be a public service

Why would it be best for the new fire department to be provided as a public service?
A Fire department are too expensive for entrepreneurs to provide
B Demand for the fire department is greater than its supply
C The service should remain unlimited and accessible all
D Not many people are interested in the service

A, B, and C are all reasons why it would be best for the new fire department to be provided as a public service. Fire departments are essential services that require significant resources and funding to operate effectively. Privatizing the fire department could lead to increased costs for residents, limited accessibility for those in need, and potential profit-driven decisions that could compromise public safety. By keeping the fire department as a public service, it ensures that it remains accessible to all residents in the city, regardless of their ability to pay, and allows for the necessary resources to be allocated to meet the demand for fire protection services in both the northern and southern parts of Deepak city.
