These people didn't have insurance for fire?

If you don't have a comparable replacement policy on your home in a high fire risk area, you are really hosed. You need a policy that would rebuild your home comparable to current market costs, not the value of the home when it was purchased. That's why people need to make sure their homeowners' policy really covers them in the event of a disaster.
