117. not when the county has repeatedly voted not to fund fire service though it can afford to do so, no.
not when county residents expect a town of 2500 people to foot the bill, no.

if they don't care enough about their homes to fund fire protection, why should i?

county residents aren't indigent. they have a higher median income than the cities.

this problem didn't start yesterday. the policy you keep recommending was the previous policy.

it didn't work well, & it worked even less well in a recession-cum-depression + government spending cutbacks.
