Really? I'm curious because EMS services don't work that way.
Then I shouldn't have been given an invoice for a call from NYFD. Also there wouldn't be so many volunteer firemen and EMS services across the country.
Here in NYC I can call 911 and FDNY EMS shows up, they will send me a bill.
I can also call Hatzallah a volunteer Jewish organization. They will show up, and maybe ask for a donation. I say maybe because I don't know for sure.
I do know when I was run over on my motorcycle in Northern NJ, I was picked up by volunteer EMS called by the local city PD, and was told that I didn't have to pay for it.
