Here, if you live outside the city limits and do not pay the fire department fees, they WILL NOT come and put your house or shop or fields or anything else out.
But to directly address that idea... For the most part, RFD response is long enough that whether you call them or not, the damage is usually the same. They're pretty good at preventing the spread of a fire, not in rapid response and saving a home that just caught fire. I would have NOT wanted to be the person who put the guy on hold. That would haunt me until death or senility took away my mind. Call on your VOIP phone because the house caught fire? Why not just email the fire department? Gee, I'm sorry, but what on earth was he thinking? -------------------------------------------- Mark Koskenmaki <> Neofast, Inc Broadband for the Walla Walla Valley and Blue Mountains 541-969-8200 -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
