Firefighters Let Home Burn After Owners Didn’t Pay $75 Protection Fee — Again

(By Jonathon M. Seidl, The Blaze) - It’s happened again in Obion County, Tenn. Firefighters were called to the scene of a house fire, but when they arrived, they didn’t put out the blaze. Why? Because the homeowners hadn’t paid the $75 fire protection fee. If the story sounds familiar, that’s because the same thing happened last October. And back then, just like now, it sparked quite the debate.
