Why not open properties to firefighters?

There are hundreds of firefighters doing a great job protecting our homes, but many are staying in tents. Both Purgatory and Tamarron have many rental properties, fully furnished, which could house these firefighters for needed sleep and showers. Each has food facilities that could be opened. Both properties have a lot at stake in the success so far of keeping the fire from damaging structures. The least that the owners of these rental properties could do would be to provide a clean, comfortable refuge for the firefighters who are saving their property.
