From what I have seen, it truly is optional. They literally just let you turn them down if you don't want to be a volunteer firefighter. There is no punishment or extortion involved. Do you have any evidence otherwise?

Any sort of contaminated food isn't relevant to extortion. Thanks for the irrelevant article though.

Amazing that you're demanding evidence when all you can provide is "from what you have seen". How about you provide some evidence?

My original post was literally just me saying this is what I heard and asking if I was correct. Why should I provide proof when I am literally just asking for confirmation? The person I was responding to made the claim that there was extortion going on, not me.
