What I haven't heard in all this with the guy's house burning

Advertisements [?]

down was, that the law is a community hazard...The neighbor who did have protection wouldn't have had to now deal with the damage if the fire department hadn't allowed the fire to spread in the first place...

Maybe if counties insist on this kind of system they should say that if you don't pay and you have a fire that presents a danger to surroundings, they will put out the fire, but you'd be on the hook for expenses, fines and the cost of the fee.

And how does this guy even get a settlement from his insurance, since he had no fire protection? Isn't that negligence?
