No wonder our annual fire assessment has to increase. I do not begrudge the firefighters a fair wage, but no houses are 10 stories tall, only businesses.
That's a good reason for a public safety impact fee on commercial property.

Even in a three story building the ladder is extended out so that the water can be directed into the building or on the roof. Also there are other buildings such as the assisted living facilities that have several floors.
