Sounds good if you say it real quick, but you don't want to discourage home owners from calling in an emergency either, because they're afraid of a huge bill. These things can get out of hand and do untold damage before long. Penny wise, dollar dumb. There's a reason we pay taxes and emergency services are part of that.
