Outrageous. Firefighters stood around and watched as fire burned down house.

What sort of excuse is it, that a house is on fire, but because the homeowner didn't pay the fee (but is now offering to pay it in full), that the fire chief and mayor adamantly refused to allow firefighters to put the fire out? They came out to put out the fire of their neighbor's property after it had jumped, but after they were done, they just stood around and watched this homeowner's house burn.

Don't these bureaucrats understand that their actions have greater implications than just a single homeowner whose house burned down?

[edit: Tuesday, it comes out that, in fact, many Conservatives support the bureaucrats who made the decision not to fight the fire. Selfish is the new America.]
