   I'm in one of those 'boundary' areas myself, although I'm covered by more   
   than one fire jurisdiction.   
      
   I think, from memory, the *land* is covered by calfire while the *home* is   
   covered by the local town fire department.   
      
   Weird.   
      
   BTW, out here, *every* house must have its own fire hydrant on the   
   property.   
      
   Do you have the same rules?
