Who's Going to Pay for Out of District Fire Call like This One?

Many of the parcels in the Meadview area pay no tax to the LMRFD, yet receive the same response and protection as those of us who pay hundreds of dollars a year. We were told it costs $1500 to respond to a call.

Who pays when the LMRFD responds to parcels who pay no tax? I asked for a list of fire responses some time back to check on this problem, but I was told they would need to print a years worth of calls and it would take a lot of time.....

Today at about 5 AM the area was hit by a short but heavy rain storm with lightning and flash flood warnings from the weather service. The LMRFD received a call that a power pole was on fire at 3054 W Hiller Dr in Meadview. The parcel is out Greg's Hide Out road about 15 miles from the Meadview fire station.

Someone needs to go back over past fire calls to see how many parcels that are outside the fire district were provided service and paid nothing. Just 10 out of district fire calls a year would cost tax payers $15,000. I don't know about you, but that's a lot of money to me.....

How many out of district fire responses were done over the past couple years, and how many actually paid the LMRFD for the service?

Medical Alert for Your Cell Phone $15

Many older people live alone today. Companies advertise medical alert systems that only work at home within range of the base receiver or WiFi signal.

There's an alternative that works anywhere your cell phone works, rather than only around the house. It's called Zomm, it's called a wireless leash for your phone. It lets you know when you are out of range of your phone, you can answer calls too.

The good part is it can be worn around your neck or in your pocket and allows one button 911 calls. So rather than paying hundred of dollars and $30 a month for a medical alert system, when you can buy a Zomm for around $15 on eBay and it works anywhere your cell phone works.

I would be happy to help anyone setup their Zomm for 911 calls if they need help.
