Firefighters Refuse To Put Fire Out For $75??

Emily_Haines · 10-05-10, 08:00 PM

That david fulton dude is a real piece of shit and I would be looking to fuk his shit up if I were that homeowner.

I believe if you choose not to pay the $75 fee you should make arrangements to put out the fire by yourself by investing in smoke alarms, fire exstinguishers and a huge water tank with pressure hose in your yard.

pretty sad story, but it was not in their service area. The FD is nice enough to take care of these fuks out in the sticks for a measley $75 a year. I grew up in a very small town with a Volunteer fire dept. There's no fees, its all volunteer & they have state money to help buy the best equipment. But trust me, they know who sends in a $100 donation a year & who doesn't

Firefighters can be heroes at times, but not automatically...They are overpaid for starters(in most areas). It is a job that takes very little skill or qualifications(relatively speaking) ...You have tons of people wanting those jobs, yet we still pay them near six figures in a lot of places for working three to four days a week. And they can retire with a full, ridiculously loaded pension after 20 -25 years. Doesn't add up. Not in this economy.

He means everyone being a fireman after 9/11 was a hero regardless if they actually did anything heroic (like the real 9/11 firefighters who were heroes).

4) santa claus, easter bunny, tooth fairy, jesus/god

all this stuff is bullshit people use your brain and do some research

firefighters and police are just people like you and me only lazier and often scummier

You and GB are missing the point.

Muggy · 10-06-10, 07:54 AM

Wow... I would have just paid, but then again, I always thought firefighters were a public service that was paid by taxes.

ngates815 · 10-06-10, 09:42 AM

Good for the Firefighters. Let me guess that same guy doesn't believe in buying insurance for his car either.

Dumbass it's 75 bucks a year, that will save a 100K investment. maybe only 25K where he was from. Some people are just too cheap, and get what they deserve (not saying he deserved a fire at his place)

Sledge187 · 10-06-10, 09:58 AM

Maybe the home owners paid for Brock Landers picks and couldn't affored the $75 fee after that.

I never thought of this...But it could be a possibility.

Then the guy could of just told the Firefighters "please guys, I've been tailing Broke Landers, and I can't afford the 75"

Most likely the Firefighters have heard of the failure, and would of put the fire out.

This reminds me of a scene of the movie Mississippi Burning with Gene Hackman, fire brigade in front of a burning afro-american home, they didn't extinguish the fire because the house was just few meters behind the line of their county.

jw · 10-06-10, 12:23 PM

Let it burn .... I bet he pays his $75 next year.

emoney · 10-06-10, 02:40 PM

I don't get most of you people.

how is this the fault of anybody other than this jackass who didn't pay the $75.

cmon...its not like he didnt have the $75...its just the principle having to pay for a public servant in the United States of America

Theres plenty of things we don't want to pay for in life, but we do, because of unforeseen circumstances in the future.

Boscoe · 10-06-10, 03:20 PM

"We wasn't on their list"

"The fire started when the Cranicks' grandson was burning trash near the family home."

obviously not the brightest bulb in the batch.

a. pay the fukking fee
b. if you don't pay the fukking fee, don't let your grandson burn trash next to the house.

l7ustin · 10-06-10, 05:30 PM

i work for an ambulance and u guys have no idea how hard it is to put out a fire in a mobile home; most of the time all you can do is be defensive and not let his neighbors home burn down too.

My guess is if it was not in their service area it took a really long time for them to get to where the home was burning also..

capitalist pig · 10-06-10, 06:16 PM

I get the no pay no put out the fire part. But why would they even bother to show up if they arent going to put it out.

If you read the story it says they were standing by to protect the neighbor's house, who paid the $75 fee, in case the fire spread to his house.

ejfel01 · 10-07-10, 01:32 PM

I simply can't believe this story is true. I honestly believe no firemen would watch a house burn down.
