    A lot of counties and states charge now too. Some up front, (edit, maybe I am remembering wrong. but they have charged thousands of dollars for relatively easy rescues.) They got a lot of shit for it in my state in a county I lived in that is famous for religious extremist dickheads. I think they backed off the prepaid part after someone was caught in a river and waved his credit card for the news cameras before the authorities got to him.
