I misunderstood Sam. He told me that a guy's house burned, the FD put it out and then realized he was outside the district so they billed him. I thought that was regular practice. I understand why they didn't put it out, but it seems so sad that they showed up and turned around. That's all.AKbushbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648154317420233293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30204318.post-62770171086120672362008-01-07T08:27:00.000-08:002008-01-07T08:27:00.000-08:00Dang.

I got the post about Tang and Trucks on my rss feed, but I note you deleted it.<BR/><BR/>That was classic.<BR/><BR/>And you can't request fire service and pay for it later. The scene you describe happens several times each year in this area.<BR/><BR/>As a counter point to your observation, I would add that putting out the fire requires the firefighters to put their life at risk. By not paying for the fire service you are not paying for their training, upkeep, etc. etc. It is fairly brazen to expect them to respond to your emergency (and by "you" I don't mean "you personally"). <BR/><BR/>Service districts are easy to form in Alaska. Look into it before the fire starts. Yes, it is a little cold-hearted, but the old adage "Failure to plan on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part" comes to mind.Coldfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636345146138362966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30204318.post-9942227492060589632008-01-06T15:54:00.000-08:002008-01-06T15:54:00.000-08:00Wow!

What irony.<BR/><BR/>Do enjoy your blog on your life and your dogs. I don't know why that one writer yipped unless they thought they were being humorous. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I enjoy following your experiences, both of living in Alaska and preparing for the races. I enjoy animals, particularly dogs, but I don't think I would opt for your life style, even years ago when I was more venturesome and spent most of my free time camping and in the local woods. Now, a good book, a warm nook (corner that is) and cold brew is more to my taste.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for blogging.<BR/><BR/>Marty bMarty bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03488687831072842448noreply@blogger.com
