What if only person in a small town paid the fee?
Granted it sounds like in this case the fire department was paid through taxes of a large town and if the surrounding areas wanted fire protection then they would pay a fee instead of a tax. So if only one person paid the equipment would be paid for by the larger towns taxes.
