I have to agree. There are plenty of local taxes, I don't understand why someone should be charged a fee for a basic service like fire protection. What's next, having to pay $75 a year for law enforcement if you don't live in the city? Honestly this sounds like a much more responsible plan:

In a nearby county, rural homeowners can purchase a $110 subscription to cover fires, but they can also pay on the spot for fire protection: $2,200 for the first two hours firefighters are on the scene and $1,100 for each additional hour, according to dailytimes.com.

Than just letting someone's home burn down over a matter of $75.
