A family is without their belongings after firefighters refused to extinguish a home fire in Tennessee last week. MSNBC reported that homeowner Gene Cranick failed to pay a $75 fee that has been around for at least 20 years. Cranick was willing to pay the fee to have the fire department dispatched to his house, but the operators refused to offer. His grandson burning trash near the home caused the fire. Three dogs and a cat were unable to be rescued.
