Thank you ajg for calling the minecraftcc fire department, the fire was put out hopefully to your satisfaction. The bill for said service will be appearing in your mailbox since we are a private company and not a public service.

(just kidding, glad to be able to help you with the fire)

Why is it that i only see one building that is actually burning?

 

[eaglestallon]

Probably because I extinguished most of it right after he commented about it.

NZ, while I would normally laugh at that, the sad part is I have read stories of fire departments here in the USA that are private, not public and they will come if say the neighbors house is on fire and they paid their bill, but if you didn't, they will stand around and watch your house burn down.

Things like this are rampant in upper scale communities. Basically, it is a privately owned fire company (usually owned by the development) that get paid every year by fees of the home owners, what usually happens is a new couple/family move into this house and haven't had a chance for their fees to process. The fire truck comes out, puts out the fire and then the family is slapped with extra fees since they aren't a part of the system.

Yay for capitalism!
Having a mixture of private/public services sounds way more complicated than it needs to be when you are talking about emergency service.
Reminds me of this -

There will be one more series according to Graham Linehan, hopefully Chris O'Dowd has time what with him going to Hollywood. Expected to air in the UK in 2012.

Have you ever watched Father Ted? Linehan was a co-writer of it and it is also hilarious. Not sure if you got it in the US?

 

[NZ_Forever]

Father Ted?

Epic win.
