Sorry, Tom, but your buddy Gene Cranick is not a saint.

South Fulton Mayor David Crocker said city officials don’t want to see anyone’s house burn, but he emphasized that South Fulton has a city fire department which is supported by city taxes in order to serve its residents — with a rural fire subscription service made available outside the city limits to county residents in the city’s designated rural coverage area.
“We’re very sorry their house burned,” he said.
Mayor Crocker said if the fire department operated on a per-call basis outside the city, there would be no incentive for anyone to pay the rural fee. As an analogy, he said if an auto owner allowed their vehicle insurance to lapse, they would not expect an insurance company to pay for an unprotected vehicle after it was wrecked.

Consider it an involuntary fire insurance. Just as people on flood prone land can opt in for flood insurance, rural residents can pay for fire protection. This guy failed to do so and paid for it.
Tom, you're barking up the wrong tree once again.
