Fire Departments Billing for Accident Clean Ups.

Cost recovery for fire-based emergency response services is becoming a more familiar concept for cities, counties and their fire departments. Fire-based billing for emergency medical services is already an SOP for many fire departments, and a variety of companies can assist them with billing the individuals who receive the medical services.

Newer to the fire service is the concept of cost recovery for emergency response to multiple-vehicle accidents. At-fault drivers’ insurance providers are billed by cities and counties for the fire department services they incur. Cost recovery is a viable option as cities and counties experience a decrease in their tax bases. They need options to offset the costs of the demand for emergency response by their fire departments. There continues to be a demand for timely and high-quality emergency responses even when budgets are shrinking.
