If the civic duty has been reduced to a paid civic service by the local powers that be, can their actions be legally challenged? In other words: has Obion County broken some state or even national law(s)? Just wondering.

Apparently Mr. Cranick lives outside the city (county?) limits that this particular fire department serves. The program that allows those outside the limit to receive fire services for the $75 fee has been in place for 20 years.

I feel bad for the family at the same time it seems that they could have afford the $75 fee

That's exactly what Mary and I asked when we first saw this story. When interviewed on Olbermann last night, Mr. Cranick admits that he 'forgot' to pay the fee but told the firemen at the scene that he'd pay whatever the cost was if they'd put out the fire.
