Tore, this is obvoiusly a very sad story, but also not reflective of what "usually" happens in this country.

I think the homeowners should have paid the $75 per year to begin with. Anyone who owns a home has to assume those types of responsibilities.

Having said that, were I one of the firefighters (which I'm not), I would have done what I could to encourage fellow firefighters to put out the fire. I'm not sure my conscience would allow me to teach stupidity a lesson like that.

"Most" Americans have the heart to do whatever they can.
