How can they know ahead of time if someody is in danger? Better to be there and watch vs not there and somebody burns up.

Yep. Like I said earlier, if you don't pay insurance premiums and then file a claim, are you entitled to getting that claim paid? Of course not. Same concept.

They're there to keep people away and prevent injuries.

If I remember correctly... with the one that happened last year, they showed up to make sure the neighbors houses, that payed their fees, didn't catch on fire.

The way I am reading it is that they'll protect people but not property

The moral responsibility (and not wanting a wrongful death lawsuit) vs. the lack of legal responsibility.

Does that trailer park not have cable, internet or newspapers? It happen to someone else. Pay the damn fee or move into the area that is covered by the station.

I'm glad we don't have that hear. I would hate ride the fire truck to a fire and not be able to fight it.
