won't happen!  the govt doesn't handle things like local fires or anything else that's local...its all done by county and city ppl...

I'm not sure what you meant by " won't happen"  nor I know where you live...  You seem to have special circumstances for paying fire protection...  All large cities or towns get their fire protection by paying their taxes...  That's why taxes are paid....  Taxes go towards roads, bridges, public schools, police and fire department...  There are exemptions all over this country...

I think my point did not succeed to mature..  :)
