[quote]Seems like it’s the city FD asking citizens who live outside the city boundaries to pay a fee to be eligible for service from the city FD.[/quote]
That’s my understanding too.
On the other hand, I live outside the city boundaries, I had to call the 911 at least twice in the last year, and I never had to pay anything up front for the fire department to come. I pay $6000/year in property taxes and it would only be common sense that there should be some fire department somewhere that would be partially funded out of my taxes in order to respond to emergencies here. Evidently, not in Tennessee.
