Why does the fire brigade respond to such calls, they're a FIRE
brigade,
the clue is in their name.

Because they're a fire and rescue service, and because it's more fun
driving the big nee-naw (especially when they know it's a nice easy
call-out with no smoke or deaths) than sitting in the station polishing
their nozzles.

Meanwhile someone's house is burning down.

Nope, hardly any houses burn down and they are free to go
to the fire and leave the cat up the tree if one does catch fire.

It's still wasting their money.

Doesn't cost much more to rescue the occasional cat while
twiddling their thumbs waiting for something to catch fire.

Then they moan their wages are too low.

They would even if they didn't ever rescue any cats.

People who moan about low wages should seek work elsewhere.
