That's even more fucked up.

Your house doesn't qualify for fire insurance, so we're going to make doubly certain you walk away with nothing, by letting it burn.

Brilliant.

I still cant wrap my head around this concept. Seems to me that you live in a town/municipality and pay taxes this is a service thats provided.

who is "we're"? should the city offer insurance now?

basically paying for fire protection is their only option. and they chose not to pay. if they can't afford fire protection, odds are they couldn't afford insurance either.

It's definitely a bizarre requirement. This is definitely not the same situation, as the other fire last year.

Dude, RIF.

They don't qualify for fire protection, because they don't qualify for fire insurance.

WTF are they supposed to do?

So, don't those people that can't get insurance need the fire department MORE than the others?

According to Snatch, when your trailer burns down and you mom dies you have to rig the boxing match and bet on your self. then when the crime boss gets all pissy you shoot him in the face.

You would think so, wouldn't you? That's a pretty ass backwards rule.

All I'm saying is, if I lock myself out of my house. I'd better be damn sure my fees are paid up. Or, I'd have to call a locksmith. Personal responsibility, right?

Some people's kids...
