just for shits and giggles someone should look up the price that it is costing the "citizens" who pay on their taxes and the ones who do not.  I would be very curious to see if that number is remotely close.

Firm-  her ISP should give her service to me.

Even tho she paid for it- and needs it- I also must have ISP.  I want her ISP to serve ME, and I want it now.

I might even pay- if I get around to it- but not now- and not this year- since her ISP will surely give me her hook up.

And I will use her hook up for as long as I need it.  ME.   If she needs it when I am using it- then too bad.  It is all about ME.

Volunteer FDs are always cheaper then when a city has a paid FD.   The taxes are jacked up to cover that cost.

even volunteers-  you can only push so far.  Often these guys have day jobs.

“Everyone deserves fire protection because providing public safety is among a municipality’s highest priorities.

“Instead, South Fulton wants to charge citizens outside the city for fire protection. We condemn South Fulton’s ill-advised, unsafe policy. Professional, career fire fighters shouldn’t be forced to check a list before running out the door to see which homeowners have paid up. They get in their trucks and go.”

This was not the particular municpality's priority.  It was not even in their area of responsibility.

South Fulton will likely revoke the offer to cover people outside the City. I know I would.

This certainly helps the county, doesn't it?

They'll have to either go without any fire protection, or form a redundant fire department, likely at a much great cost.

Because of a free loader.

the asinine thing is that the neighbor also suffered damage. if the FD had dealt with the first fire the neighbor would have suffered no damages. maybe the fools in that town will rethink their policy. or maybe not. sure worked out terrific for them. their FD responded to a call and did nothing and spent the gasoline money to do it. brilliant.

When you can prove having access to the internet is in the best interest of public safety, then i will agree to your analogy. Until then, its full of holes... as full as your brain.

The house next door had paid.   So the fireman should have ignored the neighbor who paid- and catered to the guy who did not pay- but offered to pay- ONLY after he set his house on fire?

I once lived in a small rural town in which the city provided the fire house, some equipment and a communications system for a VFD.  The volunteers were not paid a salary, but only a small fee (between $20-$50 per incident) when there was a call out.

All the admin and training was done gratis by members of the department.

The county didn't have enough tax funds to hire enough firemen to cover the county, but what they did was become a partner with the city, and the VFD itself, and provide property and buildings around the county for the fire personnel to stage trucks and equipment.

Because of the costs, and the improvement to the overall abilities of the Fire Department, the City paid the salary of a full time admin person, and the Chief.

So, we had a private,volunteer organization, partially funded by the City, partial funded by the County, which also raised private donations.

It was a pretty effective department, which also required County citizens to pay a minimal subscription fee, to help offset the costs of the Counties funding.

Occasionally, someone wouldn't pay the fee, and needed to call the Department.

Sometimes they would come and fight the fire, sometimes they would just come and make sure it didn't get out of control.  It depended on a lot of factors, including the decision of the Fire Department itself, and the agreements between the three bodies.

It can become pretty complicated.

Oh really?


At least- I did not set my house on fire thru sloppy burn barrel to save $1 on the garbage bill.

This slob- set that fire- and you feel sorry for him.  

No wonder why the country is a mess.  You ENABLE him to be irresponsible.
