17. And who pays when the embers from a non-payer's house are blown into a local forest?
And when the forest fire spreads and even MORE people lose their homes? And when the same firefighters who refused to fight the initial fire, respond to the forest fire and some of them are killed (along with trees, forest animals, and maybe even innocent campers and hikers), and ALL of this because they refused to put out the initial fire? Fires have a dangerous habit of spreading. It's not just the non-payer and his close neighbors who are at risk--EVERYONE is at risk.

Fires are an urgent public safety crisis. More than just the non-payer's house and property is at stake. Put out the damned fire and take the non-payer to court later to collect damages.
