Actually fighting fires is a small percentage of what your fire department does. Among many other things, they do inspections, safety training, education, fire prevention, etc. But, the biggest component in the jobs they do every day is running EMS calls. Especially within the target rich environment of The Villages. And yes, ensuring that residents have properly working smoke detectors is a valuable service they offer.
How anyone could complain about the VPSD performing this service is beyond me.
