Inhumane activity down in Tennessee

This recent post is about a home burning to the ground down in South Fulton, Tennessee. In that area, there is a 75$ yearly fee charged for 911 service. So when Gene Cranick forgets to pay his fee, and calls 911, they do not respond. The house burns, he gets out of the house, but his grandkid's 3 puppies and everything he owned, remained in the house. Neighbors called 911 in fear that their houses would catch fire. 911 came to make sure their houses were ok, but left Mr. Cranick's house to burn. Now, I can understand where the firefighters are coming from. Rules are rules, and they can't break them. And while I still think they could've done something, I don't blame them completely. I blame the guy who came up with the rule. Sure, putting out fires costs money, but is that the way to get the funds. Have fundraisers, or something, but leaving a house to burn is wrong. The fire department is part of the government, is it not? Shouldn't they be using government funds for this? But back to the firefighters, sure they were following rules, but when a neighbor offers to pay 300$, and they say "It's too late". Why? Do you enjoy puppies burning to death???????? That is completely Inhumane (my reason for the title). How could they sit by and watch that? I mean, if I were in their position, with the risk of losing my job, I'd help the poor guy out. When the boss get's mad later, I'd tell him what a stupid idea it is to have the resources to put out the fire, and sit there watching it burn? This is unbelievable. Now, maybe there's more reason to letting puppies burn then I know. If so, please comment, I want to here YOUR opinion. Because That's my opinion. Take it or leave it.

Thanks for reading.
