SOUTH FULTON, Tenn. (AP) -- Authorities say firefighters in a far western Tennessee city let a mobile home burn down because the owner didn't pay a $75 yearly fee for fire protection.

Jeff Vowell, city manager of South Fulton, told the Union City Daily Messenger that the city fire department let Gene Cranick's doublewide trailer home burn last week because he didn't pay the subscription common in many rural areas.

Cranick's home is outside city limits, but South Fulton offers fire protection to nearby residents for a fee and did protect a neighboring house that paid.

Police say Cranick's son was so angry he later went to the fire house and punched the chief.

City officials didn't return calls and a message left at a phone listing for Gene Cranick was not immediately returned.

So, a fire department let three dogs and a cat burn to death because a homeowner forgot to pay a fee.

They allowed a family lose everything they own because of seventy-five dollars. Why couldn't they have have billed him after saving his house and his pets even if it was a penalty amount? This is unacceptable.

Don't we have a moral obligation to help others who are in obvious need?

Since when do we stop being human over money?

One would like to think that human decency, if such a thing still exists, would have prompted the firefighters to rescue any children that could have been trapped in the blaze.

But then again, this was a mobile home park in Tennessee... :(

Well, you'd also think that human decency would prompt a not-for-profit hospital to provide services to low-income people without resorting to putting liens on homes if those individuals can't afford to pay for treatment--but that's not happening, either.

Used to be that way until the huge push for socialized medicine in this country. Forget that it doesn't work in any country that tries it. We used to have the greatest medical care in the world. Trouble is illegals have consumed the safety net that once existed for the poorer citizens of this country. What do you expect when you foolishly give the store away? You can't have everything you want, you know.

That statement has no basis in reality.

Every nation that tops the list in terms of health services and every nation that tops the list in medical tourism has socialized medicine.

You arguments have no basis in reality. Your second sentence is utterly insane.
