Looking a little deeper, it seems the situation is a bit different than the linked story indicates. In order to be eligible for the $75.00 annual fee, you have to secure fire insurance. Those trailers are apparently uninsurable, so they don't even qualify for the annual fee.

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.

Dude, RIF.

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

WTF are they supposed to do?

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

They said the place went down in seconds. Its a trailer. They don't do well in fires. There wouldn't have been much to save it the fire was going good before they woke up.
