[quote:Chrit:MV8xNzIyNDQ4XzI4NTE0MTkzXzc0MDczRDcy] So the city looses it's 1,000pounds a year that the couple paid in Council Tax, also know as property tax. Looks like everyone lost with this debacle. The city lost, the couple lost and even the fire fighters lost because they will never collect that 75pounds now or ever again from the couple. Why not have a fine of at least four times the annual 75pound fee if they have to go to a house on a call that didn’t pay? Cut your nose off to spite your face type of situation. [/quote]

A couple stood helplessly by and watched their home and valuables go up in flames because a team of firefighters refused to help - as they had not paid their 'subscription fees'.
Vicky Bell and her boyfriend managed to escape from their trailer home but did not have time to grab many personal belongings.
Miss Bell, from Tennessee, said the blaze was terrifying - but almost as shocking was seeing fire trucks sitting in the distance and doing nothing to help.
