I pay insurance on everything I have, etc. BUT... I have a feeling if this happened to one of us, or someone we know/family member, the people saying, "burn baby burn!! No $75?? Bust out the weenies and marshmellows!!" MAY, just MAY be singing a different tune. Yes they didn't pay the $75. Then send them a bill, fine them, whatever.

If they went out to the house, then watched it burn? That would be just a big of waste of money as putting it out. As long as they showed up, every one of the firefighters got paid for their time. My Father-In-Law is a retired Fire Chief in Princeton, I should ask him how they would have handled such a situation.
