Don't forget the firefighters fee
 

The local fire dept watched as a house burned to the ground because the $75 fee had not been paid.
Ron Paul would be proud.

Why would Ron Paul be proud?

Libertarians like services for fee, rather than a tax.
Heck, one poster here questioned the value of the FDA.

Was the house in question paying property taxes at the time to the local municipality which funded the fire department?

It appears that the area that this house was located does not have a fire department. The neighboring town does have a fire department, and they extended their services to the town without one via an optional $75 monthly or yearly fee (it is not clear).

From what I have read, yes. The fire dept fee is separate.
We have a similar situation here where I reside. The fire and rescue squad is funded and staffed on a voluntary basis. Most residents give a donation to both, but service is never withheld if no donation has been made. The fire company charges a $500 fee to answer a call and that is payed by my homeowners insurance.

Well it sounds like this municipality needs to change there policy, I hardly see what this has to do with Ron Paul.

Ron Paul doesn't want to charge everyone for the benefit of a few. You need to study libertarian policy.
I think the fire dept needs to change its policy.

I could never live out in the boondocks.

It's not for everyone, that's for sure.

It doesn’t.
Apparently, some people can’t just leave a story what it is, and have to make a political statement with it.

But what do think of the firefighters standing bye as a man's house burns down?

I don't understand why you need to make something that is clearly not political, political.

Its a serious department policy problem, which I assume will be corrected after the family sues the county.

Alright, leave out the politics.
How do feel about firefighters standing bye while a man's house burns down? That was part of my original post but you and others seem to think the politics are more important.
