That's essentially what happens in real life in some places: Don't pay for the fire department (although you should have known better) and in case of a fire the fire department will protect your neighbor's house, but will watch as your house burns to the ground: http://www.kfvs12.com/story/13281481/fire-chief-responds-to-...

Worth noting that it doesn't work like that for the overwhelming majority of residences in the US. Only places where you have to pay a specific fire subscription.
