Re: Firefighters did the Christian thing in letting house burn to the ground

I'm not sure I'll go that far.  The guy is a victim of his own mistake. 
However even if the fire department put out the fire, he would still have
some damaged property.  Presumably this was through no fault of his own.

Had I been his neighbor, I would have done everything I could to help him
put out the fire, even if my house wasn't threatened.  That's just called
being a good neighbor and helping people.  Everyone makes mistakes. 
Having your house burn down is a big price to pay for a mistake.

But I also can't blame the fire department or anyone for not coming to his
aid especially when he intentionally shunned them.  And I certainly
wouldn't call them cowards or selfish.

It's a bad thing that happened.  Maybe more people will pay the fee and
something good will happen because of it.
