Firefighters Watch As A House Burned Down

Firefighters watch as a house burned down.

And three dogs and a cat died.  No, no people, but four living beings died horrible deaths because a man forgot to mail in a $75 fee.

We, as a society, should be ashamed of ourselves.

That is... I wish I could say unbelievable, but in this day and age it's all too believable.

My bio-father was a firefighter. There is no way in hell he would've let a house burn without doing anything, even if it meant his job. I may hate him for my own reasons, but he was a dedicated firefighter. It takes that sort to run into a burning building. I can't understand how these firefighters could do that. They're a disgrace to the profession and to all the firefighters who've died on the job.
