Our fire department charges $500.00 to the property owner if they have to answer a fire call now. As a municipal operating unit they have the right to lien your property (like for the water and/or sewerage bills) so eventually they get paid.
$150 is reasonable actually ... How much do you think 2 paramedics and a EMS truck cost per run?
My property taxes are bad enough without paying for every trivial thing. Do you pay property taxes? If you are a renter your monthly rental reflects the cost of the property taxes your landlord pays.
The taxpayer has to pay for the indigents -- we all get stuck with the bill.
