Exactly. Yeah, he was stupid for not paying the fee (which he said they had done for the previous years), but as far as I'm concerned, you have to be a special kind of ********* to sit and watch someone's house and all of their belongings burn over $75.

This is a good segue way into discussing free markets and socialism.

There is a very special place in hell for anyone who would do that. Just one man with the stones to pull a hose out would have forced them all to do something honorable.

I think the departments should be privatized and subscription-based (volunteer districts notwithstanding). That is of course the way modern departments were founded in this country - as an insurance product. I am certain it would be a hell of a lot more efficient (better/faster/cheaper) if it was.

Sounds to me like in the OP story, the department denied his claim for services due to nonpayment of premium.
