It is different in that the state of NH wants to double the RE TAX on second/vacation homes to reduce taxes on state residents. As far as the fireboat goes - while the fire department response may actually save a mainland property, the fireboat, not so much. But islanders probably are more than happy to pay for it but would consider an abatement for the school portion of taxes fair.
