From what I have read, yes. The fire dept fee is separate.
We have a similar situation here where I reside. The fire and rescue squad is funded and staffed on a voluntary basis. Most residents give a donation to both, but service is never withheld if no donation has been made. The fire company charges a $500 fee to answer a call and that is payed by my homeowners insurance.
