re: #505 Gus 802

OK So I see a house on fire. I live in Olbion County, Tennessee. It’s my neighbors house and the fire department tells me they can’t respond because they didn’t pay the 75 dollar fee.

The next day they discover two bodies in the charred home.

So, does this mean they’ll just watch a house go up in flames knowing that there might be people inside the home?

I actually can’t believe there wasn’t a humane way of doing this. Again, I think the municipality is right for charging people for their service, that don’t pay taxes and reside there, but there has to be something they could do (tax lien, fine, something) that would have been just.
