“Very odd. I’ve never heard of a fire prevention “subscription” fee.”
Generally, volunteer FDs are funded through county property and other taxes.
Often individual department will hold fund raisers to supplement their equipment, or businesses may contribute
equipment or money.
To watch a house burn is just unconscionable.
$75.00 for a subscription fee is not even half of my weekly grocery allowance for my family, and these people demand that the fire department is in the wrong?
I’ll bet lots of these demands for free service could be paid for with the equivalent of a couple weekends of beer money.
