Gene Cranick of Obion County and his family lost all of their possessions in the Sept. 29 fire, along with three dogs and a cat. "They could have been saved if they had put water on it, but they didn't do it," Cranick told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann.

As it grew out of control, the Cranicks called 911, but the fire department from the nearby city of South Fulton would not respond.'"
