The part that I missed in this whole controversy is something my wife and I talked about yesterday.
This guy supposedly lives in a rural area that didn’t even have fire service until this new fee came along to provide it.
Given he’s in a rural area how far gone was the house by the time the fire department got there? It’s entirely possible that even if he had paid his yearly fee the house was a total loss anyways.
So one way or another he lost his house, and now just wants to make a big stink about it.
