I found an old bill online from our fire department. -- (pic)

We pay more than what’s listed here so this is at least a few years old. I think the apparatus fees, etc have stayed the same though.

Wow. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 2, 08:44
here, we can pay I think $75 per year to one of our fire stations and not be charged for ambulance service for that year. - amanda Jun 2, 07:53

I can understand a fire department charging for non-emergency or nuisance calls but there should not be for regular emergencies. - Walt_Disney Jun 2, 07:12
this is really interesting -- nm - prayformojo Jun 2, 06:48
This is so unusual to me. This is all covered by our taxes, but obviously in smaller places etc it would differ. I actually called 911 on Sunday. - Andie Jun 2, 06:48 14
- Here, as well. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 07:54
- It’s the basic libertarian philosophy of low taxes = freedom but then if you want paved roads, a sewer pipe or - you know - health care, you gotta pay -- nm - Mop Jun 2, 07:25 1
  - What gets me about the story is that once they were there, they did nothing. In hospitals, doctors gotta treat you. Bill you later. -- nm - Mop Jun 2, 07:25
- We had volunteer fire departments growing up - Reagen Jun 2, 07:13 2
  - We have volunteer fire departments here, but I believe they get funding from the county and/or borough to hire a certain number of professional firefighters. -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 2, 07:19 1
    - the equipment is mixed - some is bought by the volunteers/companies and some is provided by the townships -- nm - decline Jun 2, 07:30
- Oh how scary! Glad she’s ok! Knoxville city has services covered with taxes, but county does not. (I think.) - kelly Jun 2, 07:02 3

    - Okay! I meant to ask you, did my package arrive? -- nm - kelly Jun 2, 08:13 1
      - oh, yes - i posted about when it did, you must have just missed it. - Andie Jun 2, 08:20
- Small point - i *do* think that there is a ambulance service co-pay. I think it's $45. Would need to double check that. -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 06:50 2
  - Yeah, ambulance cover is a private insurance option here. $1,000 if you’re over an income threshold and don’t have the right insurance. - mafic Jun 2, 06:59 1
    - yeah, i just checked my benefits, i can submit and get reimbursed if i needed one. -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 07:00
- ! That must have been scary -- nm - prayformojo Jun 2, 06:49
