We've been here before. Before firefighting became the responsibility of local government, most fire fighting was done by private companies, and such things were commonplace. If you didn't have a firefighting contract on your house, you'd better hope it doesn't catch fire. You and your neighbors (hopefully) would be trying to douse it with buckets. It seems in cases such as the one sanse posted, things are coming full circle. Still a local government, but if the fee wasn't paid, you're screwed.
It's insane, they way they are going about it. I would think they would put the fire out, then send you a bill if they're going to charge a fee.
