Reply #5: The reason the taxes he paid doesn't cover it

[SnakeEyes]

is because he lives outside the city of South Fulton and is therefore not assessed the tax by the city of South Fulton that covers fire services... thus the fee to pay for that cities services. This guy should have been paying his fair share if he expects to have services. He was aware of the possibility this could have happen when he said in the interview that his son's house caught fire and the previous chief had to waive the fee for a day and allow him to pay it the next day. That should have been his wakeup call.

Hell only a few years ago the city didn't respond to ANY fires outside the city. And then they created the opt-in fee to cover responding to those that were responsible and paid in the event it was their house.

You and I all pay taxes to pay for fire services, whether or not our house is ever the unlucky one to catch fire. We do so to pay for the service to operate in the unlikely event it does happen to us. Those outside the city of South Fulton should do the same.
