I actually can’t believe there wasn’t a humane way of doing this. Again, I think the municipality is right for charging people for their service, that don’t pay taxes and reside there, but there has to be something they could do (tax lien, fine, something) that would have been just.

The humane and sane approach would be to show up, get the homeowner to sign the back of an envelope statement, then put it out. Let the city bill him a few thousand dollars for the jobs and let the lawyers settle it. This is the second home let burn since 2008. Idiots.
