Hello, please call

* 910 if you think your fire is not urgent, and can wait 10 minutes to come for free

* 911 if you think your fire is getting hotter, and can only way 5 minutes to come for $500

* 912 if you would like the fire department to come as soon as they possible can, and skip the queue of 910 callers for $10000

Are you suggesting that there are not places with private fire companies/insurance who will only put out your fire if you are a subscriber?

They'll also put out your fire if it looks likely to spread to a subscriber's property.
