No, that's why you join or contribute to the local fire company. Remember those iron wall placques on people's chimneys ? All to let the local fire co know you support them financially, so you get good service. Don't want to contribute every year ? Then why would they want to help you. Rather pay taxes for service - so your contribution is "forced". Any way you look at it, you'll pay. I'd rather it be voluntarily. There are many creative ways around a problem if you leave people alone to find it.
I was just about to lecture you on how much more efficient tax-supported emergency services are-- fire protection in particular. The problem is this is another of the situations where I find myself talking one way and acting the opposite. In front of my house is a fire hydrant that I built, connected to a 3,000 gal. tank that I built. We had a fire here a year ago and I got out of bed and put it out myself. The reason is that the tax-supported local fire dept. is 20 miles away, and their equipment is five gallon backpacks and hand sprayers.
I'll take a pass on this argument.
