Some things. In fact quite a few things. Should always be run federally.
The fire service is one of them, as are the other emergency services.

im assuming federally means local government?
if so, of course, heck, the fact it isn't is frankly insane and as this shows, potentially very dangerous for people.
|
I guess I should say by the government.

This is being run by the government.
The issue is that the house is outside of the incorporation of the local city.
Hence why, it actually IS Illegal to force them to pay a tax. (looked it up since then actually. Turns out the guy who said it was illegal wasa right.)
That's why it's a subscription based service... he's outside of the cities "incorporated" zone... and there isn't another zone he's in.

Couldn't his local government (w/e it is) charge the tax and "hire" the other city as a third party for the service?
|
Oh for sure, that's on his local government though... not the fire department or their government.
The fire department and their city can't FORCE them to do it though.
