Fire department watches house burn over $75

I can't believe the fire department did this! What do you guys think?

I feel if you pay the $75 fee put the fire out no charge, if you don't pay the fee then charge the homeowner the actual cost of putting the fire out! If they don't pay throw a lein on the house! Just thought it was sad they didnt do anything and watched as the guy lost everything including his animals.
