Would you still be whining the fire department is the bad guy for not showing up at all?
Depending on the "contract" wording, the firefighters may be limited as to what services they could provide to out of towners from a legal standpoint. There is no moral obligation for another city to take care of people in another town on their own accord. Too many people think they're entitled for some reason. Gotta stop and put the burden of accountability more on the owners. The owner chose to gamble and lost and now everyone's trying to demonize the fire department. Which, is very wrong.
No more bailouts. Tuff titty. |
Wow, I wasn't gonna get all preachy but I hope you don't call yourself a Christian (or anyone else agrees with the above post)
Now, I am far from being a perfect member of society along with my imperfections of being a Christian. Regardless of religion, YOU are exactly what is wrong with this country.
Maybe they (honestly) forgot the fee, maybe they had to put food on the table...and maybe they deliberately failed to pay. Who cares, this may have well been a test from God and even though the proper tools and resources existed to succeed in putting out the fire, this scenario failed due to GREED! and the mentality of folks like you. Damn right I said it.
Yeah, I can see Jesus doing the Christian thing, of letting a home burn down even WHEN there is an ability to put it out.
Again I'm not the most righteous man by any stretch but right is right and shit like this is really destroying America not $75 F-ing dollars!
