Thank god we live in a country where the $$ doesn't get in the way of saving property, lives and animals.

Re: USA is a joke
Hmmm.
What do they do in the case of a bushfire?
How does $75 compare with our own ESL?
Does ESL apply to metro ratepayers?
Glad we don't have this system here - I'd be inclined to break ranks and put it out - but my job wouldn't be on the line as I am "only a volunteer."

But these guys have to pay an additional $75 on their taxes because they are outside the city limit

Re: USA is a joke
Everyone including busineses pay ESL. Depending on where you live is how much you pay. Interesting question though Re: wild fires, they probably will not protect that residence again.
