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.

Im sure the FD works mutual aid with surrounding areas AND we dont protect businesses.???? You brush off a possible business fire as no big deal. Would be a big deal if you were conducting business in it at the time. And a ladder truck is a major asset to protecting the firefighters and making their tough job a little easier!
