  • lol, and people say socialism is bad, well here it is, capitalism at its best.

  • B/c fires spread and could possibly burn down entire communities if not put out. Would you want you house to burn down b/c the guy next to you didn't have insurance even though you did? See how that doesn't make any sense and its sensible to pay for the fire department through taxes.

  • They have to pay for ipods,microwaves,computor games and internet,when my great grand daddy was a fireman all he had was a half a glass of water and 1 rubber boot that leaked!

  • Oh man... I often feel sooo sorry for the people of the USA :(

  • Almost none of these are a hard billing process. It's pretty much hey it would be nice if you could pay this, but no big if you don't. So stop using fire departments as a way to bitch and moan about the government and it's misuse of tax dollars, it makes you look like a dimwit.

  • stom amerikaans gelul!

  • @MrCooltim45 No, he has good points. 

  • This is exactly why capitalism is the worst thing to have ever been created by men!!

  • 19,500 pennies. lol, that stuck it too them

  • and what you dont realize is that is where professional fire depts started. if a bldg was insured then they would put it out bc thats who paid them. so it is not that far fetched

  • they just bill a portion of what they save. if they go into a 250k home and keep the damage to 50k they just saved the insurance company 200k. does it not make sense for the insurance to pay......lets say 10% of what they saved them?!

  • What "Cenk" doesn't realize is, most fire departments are volunteer and rely on donations. Is it realistic to expect someone to provide a free service to the extent at which firefighters do? Yeah, $28k is over the top but who pays for the diesel, wear and tear on the trucks, and any expenses used to put out your fire?
