Much like a DNR, maybe you should hang post it notes in your house stating only Fire/EMS may attempt to save your life. See how that works out. I get your premise, but at times, hero's come in different packages. I just don't see a scenario where someone enters your home from a group that employs volunteers...fully trained and certified personnel and you're gonna say, 'Nah, I'm good'!
