So much for community spirit.

Sounds like the old union days where you got barked at if you picked up a hammer to hand it to the card-carrying carpenter unless you were a member of the union.

Does this mean that , in the event of a disaster, firefighters won't help with any efforts that aren't listed in their job descriptions?
