Exactly...Terrible leadership, terrible public policy.
The fee appears to be for county residents whose homes are outside of the city limits. I don't see why it is the city's government's responsibility to provide free services for non-residents.
It's not that the city government should necessarily be responsible for serving residents outside of city limits, it's the town reps or county reps leadership and/or the state leadership should never have let it get down to that in the first place.
The county leaders found a cost effective program that enabled homeowners to opt in, and which, in this case, prevented the fire from spreading throughout the neighborhood. (The town reps are not responsible for these folks, not being elected by them. )
The one fault I find with the firefighters is that they should have made a fire break so that the fire didn't spread to the neighbor's house.
