No pay, no spray: Firefighters let home burn
Tennessee house in ashes after homeowner 'forgot' to pay $75 fee

Share Print Font: +-Firefighters in rural Tennessee let a home burn to the
ground last week because the homeowner hadn't paid a $75 fee.
Gene Cranick of Obion County and his family lost all of their possessions in
the Sept. 29 fire, along with three dogs and a cat.
"They could have been saved if they had put water on it, but they didn't do
it," Cranick told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann.
The fire started when the Cranicks' grandson was burning trash near the
family home. As it grew out of control, the Cranicks called 911, but the
fire department from the nearby city of South Fulton would not respond.
"We wasn't on their list," he said the operators told him.
Cranick, who lives outside the city limits, admits he "forgot" to pay the
annual $75 fee. The county does not have a county-wide firefighting service,
but South Fulton offers fire coverage to rural residents for a fee.
Cranick says he told the operator he would pay whatever is necessary to have
the fire put out.
His offer wasn't accepted, he said.
The fire fee policy dates back 20 or so years.
"Anybody that's not inside the city limits of South Fulton, it's a service
we offer. Either they accept it or they don't," said South Fulton Mayor
David Crocker.
Firefighters did eventually show up, but only to fight the fire on the
neighboring property, whose owner had paid the fee. |

政府自己在广播里承认,那只是个名义。真正钱是不是用在911上,未必。
【在 c********n 的大作中提到】 : 电话单里不也含911收费吗?交钱交钱。。。

条件就完了。

w*********n 发帖数: 1975 | 28 一个人所见所闻是常态,而非例外。我骑三轮车送过一个去到医院,因有医保,可能家
属就没把心思首先放在前上,结果到了医院,对不起,门外等着,先回家取了钱或医保
账号(90年初,还没卡,直接用公司银行账号)。我所见识的都是省级大医院,不知道
小医院是否人道一点。
