I think the fire department was neither right or wrong. They were lawful. They have no legal responsibility to attend to fires outside of the area they are assigned. They also have no legal responsibility to attend to fires to the people in the county who refused to pay the taxation. I own a house outside of Montreal, Canada. The fact that it's about 45 mins to an hour outside of a metropolitan area means that there is a high probability that if our house will catch on fire, the firefighters in the nearest town won't have time to get to it as it's a pretty rural area. It's a chance we took when we bought the house. These people likewise were too cheap to pay what is essentially a $75 tax to have firefighting service. I don't know why. I don't care really. What I do know is that they got exactly as they deserve. As I stated in another thread: If you want the government's help, pay your taxes.
I agree with Hatuey... I think that's a sign of the apocalypse.
