Law Enforcement Today | Blog | Tennessee Firefighters Watch Home Burn to the Ground

South Fulton, Tennessee city officials decided some time ago to charge a $76 fee per year for residents to receive fire services.  Vicky Bell didn’t pay.  So recently, fire fighters responded to her area to protect neighboring homes of those who did pay the fee, but did nothing while Vicky’s trailer burned to the ground.  Mayor David Crocker stated that if fire fighters did respond to those who failed to pay the fee, there would be no incentive for other residents to pay.  He added that fire fighters will intervene if a resident’s life is in danger.

Wow!
