That was/is independent, and up to each homeowner to pay it directly to the fire dept. collection center. Out here in AZ, we have the same thing in our county areas - if we pay our Rural Metro Firefighter fee, they 'cover' you. Of course, if you live in a city, the city FD covers you 'cuz you pay for it in city tax.<br /><br />I hope this makes sense! <br /><br />My southern accent is strong and long.
