That's how it worked in the Roman Empire, I understand. The fire department 
would save your house if you sold it to them. They'd stand around arguing 
over the value until you gave in, with the value naturally going down as it 
burned.  (I assume they'd rent it back to you or something.)

I've also encountered volunteer fire departments in small towns that took 
donations. If you didn't donate, they wouldn't put out the fire on your 
house.  I don't think that would work for places like California where it's 
not uncommon for hundreds of houses and hundreds of square miles to burn at 
once.

That's great too.
