While I understand the need of the community to have everyone pay the fee.... why send firefighters to the scene to watch the house burn? Talk about rubbing salt in the wound...
In my opinion what should have been done... if someone doesn't pay the annual $75 and ends up needing a fire put out, the fine = whatever annual fees they owe the county + extra fine on top of that (not sure what a good amount would be there). This way, people are still encouraged to pay the $75 fee every year, but you don't have crappy situations like this pop up.
Anyway, what the heck do our taxes pay for if not these public services when we need them?
