Family didn't prepay for fire coverage, so firefighters come out to house and watch it burn down. They only stepped in when fire spread to the house of someone who did prepay.
That's so stupid. Good thing the smart people where I live don't require anyone to pay.
Hope they had insurance. :)
That was an interesting story. But that guy commenting is a moron.
They didn't let it burn for $75. They let it burn because he didn't pay the tax. The homeowner was greedy. His logic was he'll pay when he actually has a problem. He played the odds so he could save a few bucks and he lost his house. Simple as that.
At most, they should have put out the fire for a super inflated price. Like thousands of dollars.

Still doesn't make it right for them to watch it burn down. The fire dept is just as greedy IMO.
I was told it was the 2nd time the house was on fire. Supposedly, last time, the fire department put out the fire. However, the family still refused to pay for the service. I don't know if this is factual but it likely is true. Hope the family learned to stop being freeloaders and become decent humans.

Well I don't live in Tennessee and I don't know the fire department's situation there. Maybe the tax is the only way they can keep it operating. Hence, his fee helps other people as well.
This homeowner did not want to contribute. He was just concerned about his pocket. Its tough to see someone's house burn down, but he could have easily prevented this.

omg i hate this guy!! why is he screaming like that?? "we will CRUSH you!" ugh... calm yourself down :(
I agree with Mr Puggs, the guy probably thought that it would never happen to him so he didn't pay... now i don't really know the exact details but aren't people supposed to pay taxes for stuff like this? so was the $75/year tax or something? either way it's not fair to treat people who pay the same as other greedy freeloaders... an ideal situation would be to put out everybody's fires and help but the reality is that the fire department need trucks, equipment and most of all, sallaries for the firemen. if nobody paid taxes (or whatever thse $75 are), then there wouldn't even BE a fire department
I also think that the firemen should have put the fire out first and asked questions later, maybe like Puggs said (a fine or something), but don't just stand there and do nothing, that's just horrible :(
so imo, both sides are wrong here >_<

It was 75$ a month... pretty expensive for the 'protection' of the fire department. imo, i'd just move out
