Are you familiar with the Tennessee State Constitution?
I"m not. So I make no assumptions about a police force on a local county level.
Fire protection is different.
And YES, if you live out in the styx, you may be sol if you are robbed. The county will get involed. But that's foul play. It's just different.
The Gov. (again, I don't know Tennessee Const.) usually has a responsibility to protect you from bad people, but you have to protect YOURSELF from YOURSELF.
Based on the information we have, I understand the decision made by the authorities.

The firefighters were following orders.
Even the family doens't blame the firefighters.
