王师家里也没有余粮：md居民未缴消防费，消防员放任房屋 ...

chenchenggrant：第一，极端佩服央视的挖料能力，这种level的新闻也值得全国“连播”，表示给“限娱”“限广“立下了好榜样。

浩淼-mma：回复@屁民米糊: 我的观点和那22%一样， 不按规定缴费为什么要救啊。

@Juz嘉尧 : 这事够天朝热炒一阵了，看吧资本主义金钱社会的本质！国内矛盾可以稍微转移了。。。[汗]

皓月照我心：这是有消防年费制度的。法律面前人人平等，这才是核心价值观。

Firefighters Watch as Tennessee Home Burns to the Ground

A Tennessee woman's mobile home caught on fire. Instead of getting help, she saw the firefighters watch as her home burned. The home was occupied. When the fire started, Vicky Bell called 911. That is what you are supposed to do when you have an emergency. An emergency is classified as something that brings immediate danger to life and/or property. Therefore, a house fire is considered an emergency.

When the firefighters showed up, they merely watched as the woman's mobile home burned. Not one hose was used. Not one firefighter helped. Firefighters claim they couldn't help because the woman didn't pay the Obion County fee of $75 that rural residents are supposed to pay annually if they want to subscribe to the fire department's services.

South Fulton Mayor David Crocker said that the fee is meant to cover the cost of the fire department responding. He also says that there isn't any way for the department to respond to every fire. Yet, the fire department did show up and literally watches as this Tennessee house burns to the ground. Now, it seems like if the fire department spent time and manpower, not to mention gas and wear and tear on the equipment, to get over to the Bell home, they could have helped fight the fire. What good does it do for them to show up at all? That seems like they were just teasing and taunting people who were in desperate need of their assistance.

The family worked to get what they could out of the home. Yes, they ran into the burning mobile home to get out their belongings while firefighters looked on as they did this dangerous task. Can you imagine what these citizens were thinking? Aren't emergency services covered by taxes they paid?

It seems like Obion County officials care more about making money than they do about helping the residents. This family lost everything over $75. In a show of how heartless the officials are, South Fulton Mayor David Crocker defends the decision of firefighters to watch as the Tennessee house burns to the ground. He said if the firefighters had responded, there wouldn't be any incentive for rural residents to pay the fee. It seems Crocker also wants to use this incident as an advertising method for the service. Crocker said, "After the last situation, I would hope that everybody would be well aware of the rural fire fees, this time," according to a report.

A similar scenario also happened last year to Gene Cranick, who lost his home when the same fire department refused to help as his home burned. Seriously, where are the morals of these firefighters and officials? No doubt, they would all expect someone to come to their aid if there was an emergency.

It is a sad day in America when government officials are allowed to enact policies that can damage or destroy property and harm or kill residents. This policy is stupid. Every firefighter that watched on as that Tennessee home burns to the ground should be ashamed. It is a wonder that they can even sleep at night.
