Yahoo! News - Town Has Firehouse, No Firefighters
What if they gave a fire and nobody came? 60s flashback. You had to be there.
Construction of a new fire station in rural Stanislaus County will soon be completed. The problem is, there won't be anyone to staff it. In March, voters in the rural Oakdale area of Valley Home rejected a measure to pay for a fire crew. Each home would pay $165 a year.

I guess this shows that municipalities can have the same problems as HOAs. Taxes, assessments...whatever.
