    It would allow a fire Company the bill for expenses related going on emergency scenes/ calls. So for example if the fire company would go out for an MVA with fluids on the ground, they could bill that persons car insurance company for floor dry or pigs they used to clean up fluid on the road way.

    I'm all for the volunteer organizations getting paid for their matls used. Just hope this doesn't give reason to insurance Co to Jack up everybody insurance premiums past what is necessary to cover these costs.
