$25 does sound somewhat cheap. In Knox County, TN I pay over $400/year to Rural/Metro Corporation, but that also includes ambulance. I've wondered what I'm actually paying for with ambulance service since most of the time health insurance covers ambulance.

Now I would expect a volunteer fire department to be much more inexpensive than paying a staff to sit around waiting on calls (like Rural/Metro Corporation is).

From what I understand, for the legal requirement, I don't think I have to pay Rural/Metro, but if they were to get called to a fire at my house, I could be liable for a hefty bill for a minor call-out.

A few years ago, there was a woman going around our Lake Martin neighborhood (Coosa County side) collecting for the Equality VFD. We gladly wrote a check realizing that we had an VFD that could serve us. We told the lady that we didn't even know about the fire department or the requirement to pay. She acknowledged that the payment just had never been enforced. We have never gotten a bill, not even since the lady appeared.
