Arkansas Code Title 14. Local Government § 14-272-303. Firefighting services entitlement

(b)(1) Should a fire department provide firefighting services to a nonbeneficiary, then the nonbeneficiary shall pay to the fire department a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000) as consideration for the provision of firefighting services, with its being understood that the exact amount of the sum shall be specified by written resolution of the fire department in the services agreement.

(2) If any nonbeneficiary owing such a debt to a fire department fails to pay the debt in full within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written request for payment delivered by certified mail from the fire department, the fire department may initiate litigation against that nonbeneficiary to collect the amount owed to the fire department.
