  A Tennessee couple helplessly watched their home bum to the ground, along with all of their possessions, because they did not pay a$75 annual fee to the local fire department.

  Vicky Bell told the NBC affiliate WPSD-TV that she called 911 when her mobile home in Obion County caught fire.Firefighters arrived on the.scene but as the fire spread, they simply stood by and did nothing.“In all emergency, the first thing you think of,‘Call 9-1=l', ”homeowner Bell said.However, Bell and her husband were forced to walk into the burning home in an attempt to retrieve(抢回)their own belongings."You could look out my mom's Wailer(拖车)and湖the trucks sitting at a distance, ”Bell said.“We just wished we could have gotten more out.”

  South Fulton Mayor David Crocker defended the fire department, saying that if firefighters responded to non=subscribers, no one would have an intention to pay the fee.Residents in the city of South Fulton receive the service automatically, but it is not extended to those living in the greater county-wide area.

  “There's no way to go to every fife and keep.up the manpower, me equipment, and just the funding for the fire department, ”Crocker said.

  The South Fulton policy produced precisely the same nightmare last year, when homeowner Gene Cranick-who had similarly failed to pay the$75 annual fee for rural Obion County residents-saw his house swallowed by flames as South Fulton firefighter watched close by.That incident sparked a debate among conservative experts over the limits of fee-for-service approaches to government.

  For his part, Mayor Crocker stressed that the city's firefighters will help people in danger, even those who haven't paid the fee.“After the last situation.1 would hope that everybody would be well aware of the rural fire fees, this time。”Crocker said.

(2)

We can infer from the second paragraph that _________.

[  ]

C.

D.

Bell and her husband didn't call 911 the moment the house caught fire

(3)

The underlined word“sparked''in the fifth paragraph most probably means _________.

[  ]

A.
