Even if you could effectively replace the entire WFPS with people interested and physically capable of doing those jobs there is a lot of value in knowledge of having done that type of job for many, many years. That isn't the type of knowledge you can get without having worked with other experienced people as your mentors.
While on paper what they are paid may seem high but when you need to pickup the phone and call 911 because your family is in trouble do you want the person that is in their first month on the job or someone that has spent 20 years learning the craft coming to help?
