I guess that under British Socialism there are endless volunteers for dangerous tasks for no pay. Wonder what this guy actually does for a living? Does not seem to be the sort that would live on the state’s largess.

Here in the USA also.  I used to be in the fire service, and when I was there the national ratio was around 70% volunteer to 30% paid.  Most small communities can't afford to pay firefighters....it's terribly expensive.
