They "set up" their OWN fire brigade. In the sense of "it exists on paper" not in the sense of "it has fire engines or a fire house. " They created an imaginary fire department because they didn't want to pay for it; they got imaginary fire protection as a result. Which I still think speaks poorly of the representative libertarian attitude but, as Wulf'gar notes, the problem isn't with the city.


The official policy from 2009 was they weren't going to bother and people would just contract in fire fighters from the surrounding cities (seriously, you people need to learn what a "city" is, we have villages bigger than some of those "cities";) as they wished - http://www.nwtntoday.com/news.php?viewStory=25587

And my point is that the problem isn't with the city, hence it is misleading to refer to the mayor of the city as being the government, since he clearly wasn't acting in that role because it wasn't within his jurisdiction. The problem comes from the government with jurisdiction opting out and letting others take care of it.

I do agree with you LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 05:48:22 PM 1106 Views
Re: I don't believe a SINGLE person here has said they should not pay. callandor1000 - 06/10/2010 06:26:54 PM 1080 Views
*sigh* no but this is not INSURANCE. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 07:42:05 PM 1112 Views
I'm betting no one will "forget" the fee anytime soon. Gher - 06/10/2010 04:57:38 PM 1179 Views
there can be less disasterous incentives to pay the fee. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 05:50:01 PM 1183 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 530 Views
Triple the fee. Francie - 06/10/2010 06:16:03 PM 1072 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 1380 Views
Put the fire back in their house *NM* snoopcester - 06/10/2010 06:27:43 PM 548 Views
i'm assuming that a provision like this would be written into the policy. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 07:43:10 PM 1064 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 1092 Views
No, i mean in the original policy, not in something later signed. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 10:20:46 PM 1143 Views
For starters, put a lien on their home; governments routinely do that with unpaid fees. Joel - 07/10/2010 10:15:21 AM 1141 Views
The whole program is an incentive. Gher - 06/10/2010 07:13:45 PM 1013 Views
and by becoming a fireman, you accept an ethical obligation. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 07:45:47 PM 1094 Views
I'm not saying I like it. Gher - 07/10/2010 04:15:52 AM 1030 Views
*gigles* you said incentive... oh, you mean the pun wasn't intended? *NM* Helene - 09/12/2011 07:02:44 AM 507 Views
I haven't had my coffee yet. Sareitha Sedai - 09/12/2011 01:23:46 PM 952 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 504 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 948 Views

do we know exactly when the county stopped servicing them? LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 10:23:06 PM 1353 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 1012 Views
as a former firefighter, here's my opinion about this: Master Qui_John - 06/10/2010 07:09:15 PM 1248 Views
I am guessing they were told not to do it again. nossy - 06/10/2010 07:19:38 PM 1070 Views
bureaucracy ... Master Qui_John - 07/10/2010 09:08:25 AM 1124 Views
Re: bureaucracy ... nossy - 07/10/2010 11:46:12 AM 1269 Views
Now, John, your opinion as a professional firefighter is irrelevant here. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 07:47:41 PM 1128 Views
You FORGOT the MOST IMPORTANT part: Joel - 07/10/2010 10:10:17 AM 1103 Views
Outrageous. *NM* Legolas - 06/10/2010 07:11:43 PM 520 Views
That's shocking, to be honest BlackAdder - 06/10/2010 08:05:48 PM 1053 Views
My first question Amys - 06/10/2010 11:53:41 PM 1169 Views
I agree with some of what you said random thoughts - 07/10/2010 01:54:36 AM 1034 Views
*raises hand* speaking as someone who's participated in controlled prairie burning... LadyLorraine - 07/10/2010 02:10:56 AM 1164 Views
I have seen uncontrolled prairie burning random thoughts - 07/10/2010 04:51:49 AM 1095 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 1120 Views
That whole thing does seem strange to me as well snoopcester - 07/10/2010 02:51:02 PM 1224 Views
The reports also seem to contradict one another? Sareitha Sedai - 07/10/2010 02:55:59 PM 1102 Views
Yes, I noticed that snoopcester - 07/10/2010 03:21:43 PM 1098 Views

From details others have revealed, it's really not that simple. Joel - 07/10/2010 10:24:39 AM 1206 Views
Bullshit. It is that simple. everynametaken - 07/10/2010 10:59:34 AM 1119 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 1063 Views
nonsense. by waiting, they created more costs for everyone. LadyLorraine - 07/10/2010 02:32:36 PM 1090 Views
How so? They had to come put out one fire, period. Joel - 07/10/2010 03:21:51 PM 1035 Views
because if they had come out when he intially called, or even soon thereafter... LadyLorraine - 07/10/2010 09:07:21 PM 1162 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 499 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 1042 Views
Sounds like a bad system ßelals Girl - 07/10/2010 01:38:52 AM 1038 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 1016 Views
Apparently, this has happened again Sareitha Sedai - 07/12/2011 09:05:20 PM 950 Views
Funny, I was thinking of this thread when I read that this morning too *NM* Isaac - 07/12/2011 09:24:47 PM 484 Views
