Mark Hale comments on paying fire dues with tax bill

Mark Hale writes:
I would not have a problem paying a fee with the taxes, however I believe that if it were imposed the local fire departments would bare a larger responsibility than they already have. If you force someone to pay fire dues you better be ready to save their home should it catch on fire. I believe it would invite lawsuits as now we have a volunteer fire department and we have volunteer dues. Make it mandatory and you'll need a full-time staff at the department 24/7/365. Do we want to pay for that? I think we would be better off to leave it the way it is and maybe have an awareness campaign to help encourage folks to pay their dues. Thanks to all of our fire fighters we appreciate every one of you. - Mark Hale
