I just dont get it. Fire insurence is not expensive. Why dont people have it? They alsways seem to find money for ciggarettes or alcohol or some other worthless habit or activity....

Let this also be a reminder to folks who don't own but rent. Renters insurance is VERY inexpensive (About $12-$15 a month for $20,000 worth of coverage for your items).
Not a bad price for something that can replace everything you own in the event of a fire. |

He had lost his job a few months earlier. His mom left him the house when she died. He was barley getting by. His electricity had gotten cut off last week. I don't think he could afford home owners insurance since he could hardly pay the taxes on the house. The cause of the fire appears to be a candle that was left burning. One of his dogs also died in the fire. I just got through burying it.

Just out of curiousity, how do you carry a mortgage without insurance? The Mortgage company forces you to carry insurance, and will insure you forcefully (at rediculous rates) if you drop insurance. |

I wish I could get renters insurance. Nobody will insure me until the end of the Hurricane Season.

It's probably an assumption, but it sounds like the house was paid for thus no mortgage. Prayers going out to him. |

Yes that is correct. The house was paid for. |

I have a hunting cabin and have
Wood heat only gas lanterns kerosene lanterns candles for light and the aroma kerosene heaters I never could understand a accidental fire caused by same -- of course I have a healthy respect (fear) of them at the same time I use them. Still one has to feel sorry for those it happens too. I wish him better times ahead. |

 but i can't see any reason to not have fire insurance, especially if you aren't making house payments!

Well, at least the inspectors can check "electric" off their list of possible causes. |

Really sad.
Still, to be honest, when I was 25 I owned almost nothing other than a car and a few clothes and such, and had virtually nothing in my bank account. Young people can bounce back. Hope he can get a job soon – that really is the key. |

Insurance.... it ain't that expensive...
I have had renter's insurance for the last 4 years I've lived alone in apartments. I think I would get something like $36,000 if my building burned down. Sometimes I wonder if that would replace everything..... |
