God bless the South Fulton Fire Department

Arsonists save economy.

But then no-one would pay, as most would judge the risk to be very low and decide to pay when they needed the service.

So if there were no fires, there'd be no funding and the department couldn't function.

The law considers pets to be property of their owners. Please think before posting.

I never said otherwise. Pets are not just property, there are special protections they have under law as living creatures.

You were either being immensely stupid or intentionally disingenuous. I don't care which. I come to expect it from uneducated Republicans.

What would the fire department do if the homeowner had slaves in the property?

My point was that they obviously aren't going to put themselves at risk to protect the property of non-payers.

They probably would have paid the fee then.

Why aren't "special protections" helping the millions of cattle and chickens who are abused each year before eventually getting slaughtered for food? Is the moral worth of an animal proportionate to its cuteness?

And like mortgages and car loans that don't get paid.

Are you suggesting that we outlaw the concept of credit?

No, that we outlaw personal bankruptcy and reinstate debt slavery.

I don't understand why there is a separate fire fighter fee instead of working that into municipal taxes, either sales or property.

Yes. Yes it is.

That's why dachshunds are protected more than wolves despite being 100% wolf.

Seriously?

The city doesn't have taxing authority over people living in areas outside of the city limits.

Simple solution; don't respond to calls outside of city limits and offer annexation to those areas outside city limits.

How is that better than offering to put out fires for a price?
