Extending this metaphor further; firefighting is a productive activity only if there are house fires. One of the things that happened in the U.S. is that house fires dropped by about half between 1980 and now, and many fire departments began picking up more paramedic responsibilities in response. Compared to their predecessors modern firefighters do a lot less fighting fires.
