Hi, there! I lived in an unincorporated area for thirty years.

We had a separate line item on our property taxes for fire services. It was a county tax. There was one part for the square footage of the lot, and a second fee for the square footage of your taxable buildings. So your lot is 10,000 sq feet, and you maybe only owe $5 for that, plus 1500sq ft of taxable buildings (ie, not your small little dinky shed, but yes to your detatched farm shop on acreage) and that was $250 a year. You have a $255 fire district line on your property taxes. That got paid to our fire department that covered three unincorporated communities in our county.

Farmers paid a small fee for their acreage and more for buildings and homes, homeowners paid almost nothing for their lots and for their homes. It worked out.

We actually voted to increase the fee, because our fire department was losing people to other fire departments. We increased our firefighter's pay. Our department was fully paid and staffed, and while we had 'volunteers' they were just the part-time firefighters.

Point is, though, you just create special districts, like the Unincorporated Community Fire District, and that District has a tax for all people who live in the coverage area. That funds your fire services.

It's not rocket science. I also had a water and sewage district that maintained our municipal water supply and pipes. Little fee there, too.
