But I have the same issue with the local ‘volunteer’ fire department. There’s not inconsequential line on the tax levy, they employ full time firefighters but still claim it’s all volunteer and ask for $ on a regular basis. Drop the volunteer and raise taxes or drop the tax and ask for $.
Either works. The double dipping doesn’t.

If it’s anything like our town, we have one paid EMS crew for day shift M-F. To ensure quick response when people might be working.
Our firefighters are all volunteers but well equipped. With 6 fire districts plus adjacent towns, i assume they’re confident they can provide sufficient coverage without a paid squad.
We have a good mix of single family, commercial and mid-rise residential and office. Plus we have 2 major interstates that they’re responsible for. As I type this I hear them rolling out.
