SOUTH FULTON, Tenn. -- A Tennessee couple has lost everything after their home burned to the ground as firefighters watched and did nothing.

Vicky Bell told WPSD-TV that she called 911 when her mobile home in Obion County caught fire. Firefighters responded but did not put out the blaze because she does not subscribe to the local fire service ( http://bit.ly/t639Wo).

Bell says she could "look out my mom's trailer and see the trucks sitting at a distance."

Rural residents who want fire protection can get service from the nearby town of South Fulton, but they must pay a $75-a-year fee. South Fulton Mayor David Crocker said that if the city's firefighters responded to people who didn't pay there would be no incentive for anyone to subscribe. He said firefighters will help when people are in danger, regardless of whether they have paid.

The fact that someone was so damn stupid as to not pay after it happened once already, proves to me that people just don't get it. And if you don't get it, you sometimes lose it all.

I think I started that thread. 

I think I said they should have definitely saved the guy's house but fined the shit out of him for not paying the original fee.

If he can't pay the $75 how is he going to pay a huge fine?

And if she doesn't have homeowners insurance, should the insurance company just replace her house and fine her for not having insurance?

And if she doesn't have homeowners insurance, should the insurance company just replace her house and fine her for not having insurance?

File a lien...attach the insurance proceeds...

It can be done...and it is the correct answer.

Like the good ole days, keep the lawyers out of it. 20 years form now it will be a great story:

"Yes son, we are still poor right now cause your mommer forgot to send the $75 fire bill in and they let the damn thing burn to the ground. So son, always pay your bills and fees."

Or we can have the lawyer version:

"Hell yeah son. Spend all that shit. Theys plenty more where that came from. We sued the shit outta dem lowlife firemans and now we got ourselves two, count'm, two big ass double wides. We set for life son. So son, don't pay shit. Do all the stupid shit you can think of and when it all goes to shit, Sue. Sue like hell. We'll need more money by then anyway. Woo hooooo. Brang me another Bud."
