We have the fire department come by to change our batteries every year...
The ceiling is like 35 feet high in our great room and I don't belong on ladders that high.
Where we live, however, is a special community and we pay $1,000 annual fee for local police and fire department / emergency services, which include the firemen changing batteries and the police doing daily walk-arounds of our home when we travel.
As for messes, our fire dept. puts a clean towel over their ladder so it doesn't mark the wall and they wipe their feet on the way in so as not to mark our white wool carpets -- they're great guys and the mrs. makes them a nice bread or cookies to say "thanks"
