I'd say if he knew he "forgot" to pay, he was aware of it and assumed like so many other americans today that he'd get a free ride and they'd take care of it anyway he just ignored the letter or bill I'm sure he was sent. They probably send it out with tax statements n such.
Not saying they were right to let his place burn. |
You want the service... you pay for it... I'd guess this guy "forgot" to pay for years... What's worse? This guy's house burning down, or everyone house burning down because the fire dept. cannot afford to put out fires because they gave away so many freebies?

Plus the asshole said on the phone he'd pay what he owed. I think that right there says "ok I admit I skipped your fee's but I'll pay them now put my fire out". Fuck those firefighters I hope they burn in their sleep for letting defenseless animals die. |

I'm thinking....how is this much different than mob shaking down a neighborhood for "protection?"
The mob says....Don't want your business to have an accident? PAY US. The fire department in BFE here says....Don't want your home to burn up? PAY US. Seriously? What kind of fucking shake down is that? And I'm with Dave...what the fuck are his property taxes buying if not fire and police service? |

Sounds like this community needs to reevaluate their current system. Set it up to put a levy against the homeowners land for the cost of fighting the fire. Don't allow the issue of any building permits for repairs until the levy is paid. If it isn't paid after a reasonable amount of time foreclose on the land and sell it at auction. The homeowner may even be able to put in a claim for the cost against their homeowners insurance. |
