I guess the firemen in Tennessee have decided to be... different kind of people.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s not the firemen who are making the decisions here. It’s the citizens - the taxpayers.

This is classis libertariansim in action. Citizens have made the choice to limit their government.

Didn’t work out so well for Vicky Bell, huh?

Folks some common sense here. If you decide to live in a rural area {nothing wrong with that I've lived in rural Tennessee almost all my life} you have to realize you are not in the city. You in general do not get city services. I do have limited fire protection. My local VFD which my family donates too along with the Volunteer Rescue Squad. The only question is will they get here in time too matter?

The county south of me had a community just loose it's VFD to Rural Metro because persons stopped donating. Rural Metro is fee for service either by subscription or by paying when needed which is thousands in a fully involved fire. The good part of a VFD is they respond from their own residence which may be a neighbor and can at least get in and clear the home. The only ones to respond from the building are the pumper and tankers. MIne is 10 miles away.
