I thought the south praised its self on its God fearing ways?, how do you think these individuals will fare when it comes judgement day that they stood by and watched a fellow human being lose everything?Some people don`t have five dollars left after payday no matter how hard they may work. This is a disgusting side of human "money driven" nature. What ever happened to help thy neighbor? I would have grabbed a bucket and given it my all before I would ever watch anothers house burn to the ground
ITS A HOUSE!!!!!!! WHY LET IT BURN? JUST BECAUSE $75 DOLLARS DIDNT GET PAID WE LEAVE A FAMILY WITHOUT A PLACE TO LIVE?!......what if it was your house america......what if you have nowhere else to go now that your house is in flames. im ashamed and DISGUSTED. common sense is all i ask.
regardles of how this transpired, paying for something that is supposed to be carried by taxes seems like extortion.
I can see a thug standing there in a nice suit saying something like, " you just never know when an accident might happen. all those family possions and maybe even, god forbid, a family member might NEED that uh, what's the ticket, protection, yeah protection from unforeseen traaaagidy".
@docchocobo Oh and before you trolss and flamers say anything, my family has many firefighters both from the past and present. All of whome I showed this, all of whome thought this was disgusting. That said, they also said that the family should be liable for the actions of not getting the pets out of the house. None of them said they would just stand by and watch it burn. They would at least TRY to get it under control or out.
This is starting to spread throughout Europe too. In Spain they want us to pay tolls on roads already paid with taxpayers money, and there's these cases in some autonomous regions where people who's been unemployed for 2 years is losing their rights to receive care from public health system. They're destroying everything everywhere. I don't know when people will decide to fight back, but I'm sure that violence will arise any day. When governments don't care about you, will you care about them?
This is a local issue which does not apply to the vast majority, and doesn't have anything to do with Federal policies or the morons in DC.

LOL. Of course it's not a failure of Libertarian ideology, is it? Oh hell no! It's criminal fire fighters. Figures.
LOL. This is a fantastic example of why YOUR way sucks and the "forced robbery" (as you sensationalize it to be) of your taxes is a necessity. Just sayin.
what the fuck are we paying taxes for if there's an extra fucking fee for the fire dept. to come. What a fucking load of cock work, useless fucking firemen don't do shit 90% of the fucking time anyway it wouldn't have killed the lazy bastards to spray the poor ladies shack with the fucking over-sized hose. Water doesn't cost that fucking much i use cubic tons of it to water my fucking grass every day
Every State has their Own Rules of Operation. They say Tenn is Different, and it's a Volunteer Fire Dept only, paid by residents and not paid through Taxes annually ???
Firemen cost money, in fact in Europe the goverment take that money off from your pocket without asking, in US taxes are lower but its your choice whether to pay...
Those homeowners should sue the fire department. They had the equipment that their taxes paid for. What's next? Cops for pay? Will people have to pay off cops to investigate murders?
So, as funding for these services dry up are all the different departments going to start demanding payoff's for services. They should have put the fire out; Then said, next time it burns. Maybe the owners would pay then. But where will this end. Will we have to give a credit card number before the police respond someday? This is so unprofessional all the fire fighters should be fired and replaced. A dangerous precedent!
This is bullshit pure and simple. These people pay Federal, State, and LOCAL taxes. These taxes pay for public servants such as firefighters, police, and other first responders. If the fire department needs more money they should have appealed to the public in the form of a tax increase, not a letter in the mail asking for $75. If they think they don't have money now wait till they get sued by accidentally letting a home burn down whose owner paid for the service. What comes around goes around!
I'm a veteran Firefighter/Law Enforcement Officer. This has to be a volunteer dept. a professional couldn't do something like this to a family for any reason! Why did they answer the call? To prove something? They did. These types would have left the house 100% destroyed from water damage if they had fought the fire. I can think of several ways the county could resolve your issues.The closest Prof.Dept.Would have responded if requested...No excuses for this low life stunt,none!
These "firefighters" and the mayor all need to be replaced immediately.
It takes a sorry bastard to sit and watch a home burn and not do anything about it. It isnt about money, its about the moral obligation to help a fellow human being.
For those of you who arent aware, this is the 2nd time this has happened in that county.
Last year a home burned and the pathetic firefighters stood by and watched.
This guy needs to get off the taxpayer dollar. He has a big head u know the hero firefighter where he lives is another perk for this --ick fill in the blanks with a pr or d i dont care. Haha. u go hero!
This is bullshit. Did they pay taxes on everything they bought in that county much less the friday withdrawl from their friday paycheck(state taxes) . That paid for those trucks firefighters salaries. This is complete bullcrap the insurance companies did not buy this equipment why do they matter. This guy should b fired for his stupid answer.
Pure insanity!! This so-called Mayor should be put in jail for endangering the lives of people who might have been killed, all because they didn't pay the $75. With insanity running rampid in this so-called 'Country', Maybe the next step for these INSANE idiots is to charge people for police protection!?!? Coming soon- "Police let rape/murder/burglery continue in homeowners house Because they did not pay the local FEE." You would THINK this would not happen, but just look at this story.
If they arrived on the scene they should be held accountable. Who paid for the gas to drive to the fire? If they knew it was someone that had not paid, why even go just send the police, at least they can make sure everyone was safe.
@Paladian 1.The fire department is in South Fulton, TN. 2. The couple lives well outside the city limits and is not subject to city taxes so the city had no obligation to respond. 3.The city OFFERS "Rural Fire Protection Service" to people outside the city limits for a fee of $75. 4. This couple didn't buy the service. 5.The house was fully involved by the time firefighters arrived, so it was already a total loss.
@ArxVirtus still should have put it out,it's about morals..what if your mom's house was subjected to that? I hate little pricks who look up the info then paste it in a comment to sound smart..WTF is wrong with people putting a price on something that's priceless to others..ignorant fucks
@alecboi84 - So you hate people that present FACTS. Your position is to judge an entire situation on one small piece of info - facts be damned? YOU are the ignorant fuck. If you would READ a little bit, you'd see that the house was ALREADY FULLY ENGULFED when the firefighters arrived. The woman that lived in the house said that no amount of fire protection would have mattered because the flames spread too quickly. But don't let a few FACTS stop your blathering.
@ArxVirtus the story was about the FACT that fired departments WON'T put out a fire even if it can be saved dummy...I've heard of several similar situations..and where in this clip does it say/prove that the fire dept, arrived after the house was fully engulfed beyond saving?The reporter even states at the beginning they arrived & let it burn...so shut your cumdumpster homo..
@alecboi84 - Hey assmuncher. It's stupid fucks like you who get all your news from video clips. If you'd take minimal effort to read, maybe you'd find some info to fill the space between your ears: kfvs12.com/story/16201834/home%C2%AD-burns-while-firefighters-watc%C2%ADh A little more than half way down: "She says no amount of fire protection could have saved her trailer because the flames took over so quickly."

How about this? No annual fee. You have a home fire, the fire department comes, puts out the fire, you own them $75.
You will never see this in a state that's run by a democratic governor, dems would at least not allow this insanity. Bill Haslam is a republican scumbag, as they all are, he had occupy protestors arrested, he stopped funding Planned Parenthood, he overturned a law that protected gay people in the workplace and he allows working class families homes to burn down. What a guy.

This brings up thoughts of the protection racket the Mob used on businesses in the 30's. They would send a couple of goons to the proprietor and explain what a shame it would be if their joint burned to the ground or got robbed just because they failed to pay for protection.

I don't understand why they even showed up if they weren't going to put it out in the first place. I mean, did they even bother to be like, Hey, dumbasses - give us $75 and we'll put it out?
It's a crappy law or whatnot, but hell. You can't cough up $75 to protect everything you own and hold dear? Priorities...
@KresTKroVee - If you would take a little time to understand the FACTS in the case you might understand the issue: 1.The fire department is in South Fulton, TN. 2.

@KresTKroVee You nailed it, our taxes that we ALREADY pay(both sales and income) fund public works. What's next, you call the police to report an intruder in your house and get "Are you a paying customer?"
When you collapse in a resturant do the taxpayer funded paramedics let you die if you didn't pay the additional service charge. This is unconstitutional at best, sadistic at worst.

Tennessee Code: 39-16-402(a)(3) "Refrains from performing a duty that is imposed by law or that is clearly inherent in the nature of the public servant's office or employment;" AKA.... a firefighter (public servant) neglecting to put out a fire.
Gosh, my BF wants me to move to Tennessee next year, i live in the UK & i just pay my taxes & i can just call an ambulance or fire services and go to the hosptial without worrying about a large bill. I know the UK is not perfect but i am having 2nd thoughts about the US. I love the country and the people but not how the goverment is running it at the moment, then again our goverment sells us to Europe. I hope these people try and have a good chrisitmas.
@TheWhiterose1603 Don't worry, it's just a house. Just property. And money and possessions supposedly don't matter to Leftists anyway. So what are y'all whinging about?
Some person "rich" enough to own their own house lost it. Shouldn't you be laughing?
"They also say the number of fire subscriptions have gone up in the past year, possibly due to the incident involving the Cranick's that gained response from around the world." Well what do you know...the example DOES work! kfvs12.com/story/16201834/home-burns-while-firefighters-watch
@TheMoonchick Yes that fee is so low - only $75 to get a bunch of guys to train and maintain equipment then come speeding around to risk their arses saving your property as many times that year as you need them.
Money hungry uncaring people who wont even pay them such a paltry sum - what is the world coming to?
@TheMoonchick The kind of response I'd expect from someone with nothing but an emotional appeal to offer in the first place. Can't stand the truth can you? What happened to the Leftist, "it's only money attitude"?
I don't just hypocritically say it or have a double-standard about it. You lose money or property, you get to work and make it back. You take risks, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but you take responsibility for your decisions and the results. It's called being an adult.
@TheMoonchick If you've got such a big heart explain to me why you want some poor guy working at McDonald's and renting to subsidise the fire protection cost of someone who owns their own house.
Ah yes, a lifetime of memories burned down. They will just shake it off and get a job at McDonalds and someday make their money back. Because we all know having all the freedom in the world is the best thing, some regulations? NOOOOOO! BOOOOHHHH!! We don't care about other people, if someone gets in trouble then I shouldn't care. Let them sort out there own shit! You greedy dick.
@GTASA911 No - just don't FORCE other people to sort out their shit for them.
And it's not about what you think is nice, it's about what works.
Also are you implying there's something wrong with someone who works at McDonalds and doesn't have a house?
What's wrong with having had a house and lost it? What entitles someone with one to any special consideration that someone without one doesn't get? You can bet the guy working at McDonalds renting is indirectly paying fire protection.
Why doesn't the locality either raise taxes to include the $75 charge OR just make it a totally private fire service? I mean, why pay taxes AND pay a fee on top? It makes no sense...
I think if it had been entirely private, people would have had a more realistic expectation - that their house would burn if they didn't pay. I don't go to McDonald's without money and expect to be fed.
@KagarBeardtooth good questions. It is probably a political move, and it is also likely that the citizens who elected this mayor are happy with this type of set up. It alienates folks of socialist persuasion, but makes total sense to a libertarian.
@freezerlunik - libertarian = happy that ppl are homeless right before Xmas while the firefighters stand by & do nothing, so long as it teaches the family a lesson, right Mr. Ebeneezer "I want my $75" Scrooge?
@rumpole33 I want people to spend their money and risk their arses to protect my property while I do nothing. If they don't I'll get upset and demand it be taken from them at gunpoint.
I don't think ANYONE is happy about this, least of all the firefighters. More likely, I'll bet the fire service/department/whatever was pissed and frustrated at these people for putting them in that situation after not having paid their dues.
Like it or not, the home owners DID know the risks involved in not paying and chose not to anyway. If they were able to pay the firemen after the fire started, they ought to have paid before.
Another house goes up in flames because of the "Pay and Spray" program. And whats just as worse... these Fireman still got paid and probably got overtime=Z
@IRONMANAustralia - If the firefighters are so damn eager for $75, then they should have billed the family after they put out the fire! That way they could claim service was rendered without payment and sue the family!
@IRONMANAustralia They couldn't pay it. They weren't eligible. Regardless, rumpole is an idiot. They lived outside the city limits so the city was under no obligation to put the fire out. Even if they wanted to, the house was already fully involved by the time they arrived. Read this: kfvs12.com/story/16201834/home-burns-while-firefighters-watch
@ArxVirtus - So u ADMIT that it's NOT their fault that they couldn't pay it since it was the law that they couldn't pay it in the first place!
And even if the house was already fully involved by the time the firemen arrived, that STILL means there's WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD that could catch on fire!
@rumpole33 woulda coulda shoulda but didn't . Obviously they saw no additional threat because nothing else burned even though they didn't spray a drop of water.
@ArxVirtus - Oh no. I should succumb to the peer-pressure of ppl who think that firemen should burn down homes cuz kids might come by later and scavenge thru it.
@IRONMANAustralia Ya I know they were working. They are working like most government workers. Standing there, doing nothing. Guess who paid for them to do that? Those owners didn't. You did. They might as well did something, if they are getting paid for it. Not meant to be a rant. Just stating the obvious. Cheers
Plain simple extortion is what the city is doing. Its like a gang forcing you to pay protection money. What assholes. What the hell are they paying taxes for? Or are they covering it up by calling these taxes "fees"?
@kondomonster Oh no, the taxes are being used to pay for all the other dumb shit you soicalist retards think you're entitled to. No money left for firefighters. Sorry.
If you're worried about it demand they cut something less important - that's how adults live within their means.
@IRONMANAustralia - Actually taxes already paid for the fire dept, since the town of S. Fulton already paid them to exist. The $75 fee is for services outside of S. Fulton. So even if the family did pay all their taxes, none of it would go to a town outside of their area.
@kondomonster - Hey, dumbass. The only people that are FORCED to pay are the ones that actually live in the city of South Fulton (via their taxes). The people OUTSIDE the city (like this couple) have an OPTION TO BUY rural fire protection for $75 per year because they don't pay city taxes.
Yeah, great society you got there USA. Every man for himself. Essential services provided as in all modern countries - but - for an additional cash price.
@IRONMANAustralia The fact there has to be a deal is wrong. Pay us, and you will get the essential services you taxes should already ensure we all get. What if everyone did not pay? Are you saying no fire brigade in that case? A user pays system for essential services in a modern advanced democracy is akin to corruption by the state. This is supported by the fact the fire brigade stood by while a house burned to the ground - not put the fire out then asked for the cost or more.
@plainbob13 - The firefighters should have put out the fire, and then billed them. But that would make too much sense. Also, the firefighters probably had sadistic fun in standing by watching a house burn down right before Xmas...
@rumpole33 I'm not even religious and I'll still credit the bulk of right wingers for their level of charity. They're the first people to pass a hat around in a situation like this. You can tell they are not Left wingers because they don't put a gun to your face and ask for your money, or run down to city hall to pass a law to force everyone else to be "compassionate" with their tax dollars.
Also right wingers tend to have jobs and the extra money to help people with REAL problems.
@IRONMANAustralia Ah yes, let's let the infrastructure rot and the same with security, healthcare and what not more. In your world everyone who simply can't earn money maybe thanks to some disorder will have no chance, and everyone who does make money keeps it to themself. Well, you know what, you actually live in that greedy world. The top 1% does have over 40% of the money in the USA yet many people have the hardest time making some money themself.
You Leftist retards want to use the democratic process to try to force people to be compassionate, but if you actually can, (have a majority vote for "compassionate" laws), then you don't need to. You obviously live in a nation of mostly compassionate people.
You're offended by the one person who chooses not to give to a cause YOU think is important because you're a tin-pot totalitarian little fuck who thinks he should have the right force everyone to do what he wants.
@IRONMANAustralia well said! Bastiat called this mentality "philanthropic despotism" stated differently we will force you for you own good, what better way then having the sanctity of the victim wrapped in good intentions, anyone who reads history knows the results
@IRONMANAustralia I or someone else doesn't care you want to be some greedy selfish dick but stupid people like you are the ones who destroy the government. And yes, I do life in a country where government tries to help everyone. Sometimes they go a bit to far but we don't have such crazy numbers of unemployment, everyone here has the right for healthcare and some people do better and some people do worse at life but all in all everything goes fine here for MANY people, not just a few
@WinterHaven - Yes, it happened last year at the same county, Obion, w/ the same mayor & the same county firefighting system. It happened to Gene Cranick. The same firefighters just stood by watching the house burn down w/ 3 dogs & 1 cat trapped inside. This same republican mayor crocker said then too that it would teach ppl a lesson to pay the $75 fee. Cranick offered to pay it to the firemen if they'd put out the fire, but they refused.
@GladiatorGT - That would make too much sense for Tennessee and this particular republican county & that republican mayor w/ the completely republican county committee.
If car insurance worked that way, and you crashed your $50,000 car, then they gave you a new car and charge you a penalty fee - guess how much the penalty fee will be.
Just a ballpark by your genius calculations if you please. Take your time.
@IRONMANAustralia -It's not equivalent to an insurance. The firefighting fee is a SUBSCRIPTION, not an insurance. It pays for service, not a return of monetary benefits like an insurance policy does. 2 DIFFERENT THINGS.
@IRONMANAustralia - Oh, that's a witty comeback. You should patent it cuz that's the first time in the history of mankind anybody has thought up that brilliant comeback.
@rumpole33 Not the first time someone thought of saying two words are different when the principle is the same either. It's not a bailout, it's a stimulus!
Does the law enforcement in that city also follow this policy?

It takes a sorry bastard to sit and watch a home burn and not do anything about it. It isnt about money, its about the moral obligation to help a fellow human being.
For those of you who arent aware, this is the 2nd time this has happened in that county.
Last year a home burned and the pathetic firefighters stood by and watched.

Pure insanity!! This so-called Mayor should be put in jail for endangering the lives of people who might have been killed, all because they didn't pay the $75. With insanity running rampid in this so-called 'Country', Maybe the next step for these INSANE idiots is to charge people for police protection!?!? Coming soon- "Police let rape/murder/burglery continue in homeowners house Because they did not pay the local FEE." You would THINK this would not happen, but just look at this story.
