Re: The problem is... snoopcester Send a noteboard - 06/10/2010 02:27:30 PM
I get the feeling that this is what happened with the man - he IS poor, decided against "insurance" just like many other people here who can't afford health insurance and hope nothing happens. I agree that problem is that there needs to be a "better way." I can understand why the firefighters didn't charge in heroically, but it's not right in the big picture.


According to the family, they'd paid in previous years but forgot this year after going away on holiday. Which they'd done a few years ago and had a chimney fire, which was put out and they sent the money in the next day.
In their case, it sounds like they could afford it (though of course there are going to be people who can't) but just forgot.

Re: Tash. I'd have offered people anything they wanted too, if my animals were burning. It doesn't mean I'd actually be able to pay them that instant.

I do agree with you LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 05:48:22 PM 1157 Views
Re: I don't believe a SINGLE person here has said they should not pay. callandor1000 - 06/10/2010 06:26:54 PM 1144 Views
*sigh* no but this is not INSURANCE. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 07:42:05 PM 1177 Views
I'm betting no one will "forget" the fee anytime soon. Gher - 06/10/2010 04:57:38 PM 1239 Views
there can be less disasterous incentives to pay the fee. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 05:50:01 PM 1252 Views
And what consequence(s) can/do you enforce if the after-the-fact fee isn't paid? *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 06/10/2010 05:55:38 PM 552 Views
Triple the fee. Francie - 06/10/2010 06:16:03 PM 1124 Views
Tripling the premium fee is definitely not enough. I would think in terms of tripling the cost. Vivien - 13/12/2011 06:27:56 PM 1434 Views
Put the fire back in their house *NM* snoopcester - 06/10/2010 06:27:43 PM 566 Views
i'm assuming that a provision like this would be written into the policy. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 07:43:10 PM 1123 Views
So the house continues to burn while you are explaining this contract to the homeowner Sareitha Sedai - 06/10/2010 08:08:00 PM 1153 Views
No, i mean in the original policy, not in something later signed. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 10:20:46 PM 1199 Views
For starters, put a lien on their home; governments routinely do that with unpaid fees. Joel - 07/10/2010 10:15:21 AM 1193 Views
The whole program is an incentive. Gher - 06/10/2010 07:13:45 PM 1045 Views
and by becoming a fireman, you accept an ethical obligation. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 07:45:47 PM 1149 Views
I'm not saying I like it. Gher - 07/10/2010 04:15:52 AM 1086 Views
*gigles* you said incentive... oh, you mean the pun wasn't intended? *NM* Helene - 09/12/2011 07:02:44 AM 519 Views
I haven't had my coffee yet. Sareitha Sedai - 09/12/2011 01:23:46 PM 1008 Views
It was a bit of a stretch, "incentive" is related etymology-wise with "to kindle" (incendere) *NM* Helene - 09/12/2011 04:36:02 PM 525 Views
Ah, I thought of "incendiary" and wondered if that was the case (that those words were related). Sareitha Sedai - 09/12/2011 05:13:13 PM 1004 Views

do we know exactly when the county stopped servicing them? LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 10:23:06 PM 1405 Views
They didn't have any service at all before twenty years ago. Then the city fire department offered Tashmere - 06/10/2010 11:05:37 PM 1072 Views
as a former firefighter, here's my opinion about this: Master Qui_John - 06/10/2010 07:09:15 PM 1310 Views
I am guessing they were told not to do it again. nossy - 06/10/2010 07:19:38 PM 1122 Views
bureaucracy ... Master Qui_John - 07/10/2010 09:08:25 AM 1191 Views
Re: bureaucracy ... nossy - 07/10/2010 11:46:12 AM 1333 Views
Now, John, your opinion as a professional firefighter is irrelevant here. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 07:47:41 PM 1187 Views
You FORGOT the MOST IMPORTANT part: Joel - 07/10/2010 10:10:17 AM 1159 Views
Outrageous. *NM* Legolas - 06/10/2010 07:11:43 PM 544 Views
That's shocking, to be honest BlackAdder - 06/10/2010 08:05:48 PM 1116 Views
My first question Amys - 06/10/2010 11:53:41 PM 1230 Views
I agree with some of what you said random thoughts - 07/10/2010 01:54:36 AM 1100 Views
*raises hand* speaking as someone who's participated in controlled prairie burning... LadyLorraine - 07/10/2010 02:10:56 AM 1228 Views
I have seen uncontrolled prairie burning random thoughts - 07/10/2010 04:51:49 AM 1151 Views
Why would the animals be in the house if 911 was called before the fire ever reached the house? Tashmere - 07/10/2010 12:17:47 AM 1174 Views
That whole thing does seem strange to me as well snoopcester - 07/10/2010 02:51:02 PM 1251 Views
The reports also seem to contradict one another? Sareitha Sedai - 07/10/2010 02:55:59 PM 1166 Views
Yes, I noticed that snoopcester - 07/10/2010 03:21:43 PM 1153 Views
I can't believe the stupidity being spewed in this post. The solution is readily clear. everynametaken - 07/10/2010 01:32:01 AM 1328 Views

From details others have revealed, it's really not that simple. Joel - 07/10/2010 10:24:39 AM 1253 Views
Bullshit. It is that simple. everynametaken - 07/10/2010 10:59:34 AM 1174 Views
Ultimately, yes, but it would almost certainly end with a lien and lawsuit with this joker. Joel - 07/10/2010 01:53:20 PM 1121 Views
nonsense. by waiting, they created more costs for everyone. LadyLorraine - 07/10/2010 02:32:36 PM 1149 Views
How so? They had to come put out one fire, period. Joel - 07/10/2010 03:21:51 PM 1090 Views
because if they had come out when he intially called, or even soon thereafter... LadyLorraine - 07/10/2010 09:07:21 PM 1221 Views
and that's not to mention the inevitable lawsuits this particular episode is going to spawn... *NM* moondog - 08/10/2010 04:52:44 AM 527 Views
Yes, they could've spared him a great deal of grief if they gave him free service. Joel - 08/10/2010 12:16:07 PM 1106 Views
Sounds like a bad system ßelals Girl - 07/10/2010 01:38:52 AM 1094 Views

It took about two hours for the fire to spread from the barrels to the house? How did they not get Tashmere - 09/10/2010 12:49:26 AM 1068 Views
Apparently, this has happened again Sareitha Sedai - 07/12/2011 09:05:20 PM 997 Views
Funny, I was thinking of this thread when I read that this morning too *NM* Isaac - 07/12/2011 09:24:47 PM 498 Views
