Our local VFD sends out a donation card to every address in their district, once a year (November).
If you send $35 donation, they make no charge for a fire call to that address in the following year. It's a money maker. I hear very few complaints, and it is a voluntary donation. I have one tightwad friend who refuses to donate - sez his insurance covers fire calls as mine does also.
