I’m reminded of a situation where there was open hostility between a municipal department and a volunteer department that was primarily funded by a furniture manufacturer. His factory (located a block north of the city limits) caught fire and, since he had consistently refused to sign a mutual aid agreement, a city rig responded to the border, turned around and parked, and the crew climbed up in the hose bed and watched the fire. The volunteers arrived 15 minutes later. The factory was a total loss. A couple of months later the volunteers signed an agreement with the only nearby department that would still speak to them.
Something similar is a pleasant fantasy in this case, but most likely the city will just drive over and put it out.
“most likely the city will just drive over and put it out.”
Interesting story. In this case they will at a minimum make sure it doesn’t spread to the rest of the city.
