The Lafayette City-Parish Council will look into whether it should charge property owners when the city fire department is summoned for emergencies at their homes in unincorporated parts of the parish. City property owners pay a tax for fire protection, but property owners in unincorporated parts of the parish do not. In December, voters outside the city rejected a 10-mill property tax that would have raised about $4 million and established a fire protection district. Councilman Bruce Conque asked at a city budget hearing Thursday whether homeowners reimburse the city or file claims with their insurance companies when the Lafayette Fire Department answers calls in the parish. Fire Chief Robert Benoit said the city seeks reimbursement for hazardous materials calls to businesses, but not for calls to homes.
