I am sure the $75 fee is extra and the regular property taxes only pay for the parades. Heroes!

The regular taxes did not go to the fire department because the fire department was in the city and Cranick did not live in the city or pay city taxes. The fire department was in no way funded by his taxes.

What is sad and tragic is that his pets died in the fire.

The guy who burned trash in a barrel, too close to his house, and failed to subscribe to an optional service for fire protection for non-city residents… Not a lot of sympathy for him. But I feel bad for the pets.

I do wonder how the firefighters felt, morally, seeing a house burn down that they could have stopped… But they have to live with that.[/quote]

I’m sure when firefighters see so many tragic things, it just makes them numb…

I do like exploring the idea of a private firefighting team. I mean, I sort of understand why it might be harder to do with police. But firefighting seems pretty standard to me. Yes, it requires training and experience. But it’s not about enforcing laws, dealing with criminals etc….

But there is the issue of going into unsecured private property especially after evacuations have been ordered, so background checks are essential.

The question I have is – why isn’t there the $20,000 “real time” option ?

I mean, if the guy didn’t pay his $75, punish him by charging him for the service but don’t let his house burn. That is the lose-lose option.

Go for the win-win option. He wants his house saved and is willing to pay. The firefighters want to save his house and fund the department.

Interesting to see if insurance will cover it.
