Since no one else wants to comment... I think mutual aid fire brigades are possible. In fact volunteer fire brigades are common around the world and I have been a volunteer emergency responder for many years.
The problem is mainly that such things can't be organized very well ad-hoc when disaster strikes and also that not very many employers are supportive of it (but in some countries there are laws forcing employers to allow such volunteering).
For a Solarpunk society to work, the possibility of such kind of volunteering is essential and steps need to be taken to avoid this kind of learned helplessness expressed in the above images.
