I mean it doesn´t matter if anything is privatized or not, when there is a law which makes it mandatory.

Like many of our services are privatized. E.g. healthcare is not by the government, but insurance companies, but it´s mandatory to have an insurance - and there would be rules about payment and stuff.
how much would your tax decrease

so why not make firefighters part of that if ppl dont pay they have to take the sharp end and insurance can run fire fighting just as well as it can healthcare probly better than goverment and they could remove that law

We have two kinds of firefighters. Professionals and voluntaries.

And in general it doesn´t matter much if You have to pay for an insurance or taxes. Like in either case it means You pay for something which You perhaps never need, but in case You need it - it´s very nice to have.

Also there is an insurance for it: fire insurance. Like if You don´t have it, You´d have to pay Yourself. Of course it depends how the fire came to be. Like if You set Your house on fire - You´d need to pay anyways. It´s funded by taxes just in case the people don´t have money, even if they need to pay.

and this is a loophole that needs closing....
lt doesnt stop us knowing how much tax
is not being paid if you are making billions
In the U.S., things already work that way. Wealthy towns have qualified firefighters. Poor towns have (unpaid) volunteer firefighters, and some have none at all. Meaning, that a poor town would need to rely on other town's fire dept for help.
That did exist at some point. It did not go well.
