that's right, you did.........but so did everyone else.

you and everyone else in your hood is supporting the FD thru taxes.......Isn't it in your vested interest to use the FD as little as possible, or do you want your taxes to go up because of increased demand on the FD?

And how do they get swamped? By people using them (like you).....

You're like the guy who dumps his antifreeze down the sewer, saying "one guy doing it aint gonna hurt anything".........meanwhile telling his friends about it, so they think it's ok too.

That argument only works if you had a choice to pay. You don't. So why not try and keep those tax payments as low as possible?

I think most people would consider an unemployment check to be more of a "necessity" than having the FD come unlock your door when you could have hired a locksmith. So now the FD has to spend probably 3-4 thousand dollars to come to your rescue, when you could have paid a locksmith only a hundred or so.
