...or is it just covered by the taxes you have paid the city?
Answers:
In many localities there is a service fee for fire calls.
I think its covered by the taxes.
It's a public service, and like the police, the fire department is paid by tax dollars.
You pay them with your taxes.
usually peoplepay yearly fees called fired dues. this usually covers the cost of their services. in many rural areas, people don't pay fire dues, but the Volunteer Fire Dept. does go door to door asking for a specific donation to help w/costs etc. if you pay your dues and/or donation then usually the insurance takes care of everything else.
Where I live it is covered by your taxes if you live in the city limits. If not you have to pay a yearly fee to be a member of the fire association or you will be charged.
Your taxes poays foir this service.
Not that I've heard, but I'll bet such a policy would encourage people to practice better fire prevention and safety in the first place.
