Tennessee Firefighters Watch House Burn Down; Owners Didn’t Pay Subscription Fee
Oct 3 2010 Posted in U.S. News by Dan Evon with View Comments
In certain parts of Tennessee, there is a $75 subscription fee for firefighter services. Gene and Paulette Cranick of South Fulton, Tennessee, learned the hard way that that subscription fee is not a joke.
A group of firemen arrived to an emergency call, then watched the Cranick’s house burn down. The Firefighters were ordered not to put out the fire because of an unpaid subscription fee.
When the fire spread toward a neighbor’s house, the firefighters did step in. The neighbor, of course, paid the subscription fee.
Mr. Cranick, the owner of the house, said:
“I thought they’d come out and put it out, even if you hadn’t paid your $75, but I was wrong.”
The Telegraph reports that the Cranick’s live in a rural part of Tennessee, out of the firefighters typical designated area. The people who live in South Fulton, Tennessee, can pay a $75 fee to have their house protected by firefighters, but it is not a mandatory fee.
Timothy Cranick, the owner’s son, was arrested shortly after his parent’s house burned down for punching the fire chief.
