my station gets reimbursed by the county for calls we get.if there is a structure fire we call at least 3-7 other stations for their tanker and manpower .they also get reimbursed by the county.we also do fundraisers .one bbq which is two weeks from yesterday,a pancake breakfast and a mailer .some towns around here charge each homeowner a small amount with their waterbill like $3 a month.there is no fricken way we would just let a structure fire or grass fire go .part of our job is to save as much property as we can.at the end of a house fire in the mop up stage we put a tarp on the lawn and go through the home finding anything we can that wasnt totaled.then place it all on the tarp for the family.we call red cross so they can help with shelter if they need it.we also clean up the whole site from our mess like waterbottles ,garbage ect.i cant believe they would just let this go.what if the fire spread from flames or radiant heat the the next home that paid their $75.
tell ya what those trailer homes burn alot hotter and make more smoke than stick built houses do.i would not get within 10 feet of one without my airpack.maybe they stuff all their meth in the walls?
