The "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" clause does not apply here because anybody in the U.S., or any country for that matter, is subject to the law of the land. If a non-citizen is accused of a crime, he can be arrested and prosecuted just like anybody else. Okay, foreign diplomats cannot be prosecuted, but they can be expelled from the country, which means they are still under the jurisdiction thereof.
The "Indians not taxed" exception was originally applied to members of tribes that used to be considered sovereign nations under the law. The sovereign nation thing has been modified a few times in history and, while the tribes that have been re-recognized under the Indian Reorganization Act of 1932 are commonly referred to as sovereign nations, I believe that "autonomous" would be a more accurate description. Be that as it may, all Indians in the U.S. currently pay some kind of taxes, so the term "Indians not taxed" is moot anyway.
We get some wildfires here in Michigan, but nothing like they get out west. There have certainly been some disastrous fires in the state's history, but not lately. I can remember one fire in the Upper Peninsula that burned all summer some years ago, but that was in a big swamp, and I don't believe any areas of human habitation were impacted. Our fire season is early spring, after the snow has melted but before "green-up". I believe that you can indeed be conscripted into fire-fighting duty because that happened to one of my paper mill colleagues many years ago. He did get paid for it, but not enough to cover the money he lost by not going to his regular job that day.
I credit my long life to tenacity. Tenacity is like stubbornness, except that tenacity is a virtue while stubbornness is a fault. Other people may be stubborn, but I am tenacious.
