In Arizona, most helicopter rescues are performed by Arizona Dept. Of Public Safety (Arizona's Highway Patrol). If in the city of Phoenix then they might be a Phoenix PD or Phoenix Fire helicopter. Tax payer funded.
Arizona does have a "Stupid Motorist" law: If you purposely drive into a flooded stream and get swept away - you pay for the rescue.
