Fire?



*note* I made this post yesterday but for some reason tblog wouldnt let me log in until just now. Weird.

While I was out walking the dogs this evening, I noticed a whole mess of fire trucks on Prospect. There is this one house there that I walk by all the time. Every time I walk by it, I always think that it has a fabulous porch and sometimes I wonder if I could build up a little wall around my porch too but then I remember that I dont have enough money to do it and the historic district people would probably be against it anyways. It was that house that had the firefighters crawling all over it.

I think I walked by at the tail end of whatever excitement there was. I didnt see any fire, just a bunch of fireman crawling around the house. They had a ladder too and looked like they were paying close attention to the chimney. I am guessing that the people who lived at that house probably got lucky.

It is shame that we have to cut back on our fire protection. I really hope that something changes and cities like Ypsilanti can have money for such niceties again.

You don't have any fire protection? If not what does that do to your homeowners insurance premiums?

Oh no, we have very very good fire protection. But, the city I live in is having some serious budget problems and is almost certainly going to have to make cuts in the fire department. What that will do is raise everyone's homeowner's insurance premiums.

Oh, I see. I'd say if/when there are cuts to the fire dept. most premiums are likely to go up, don't see how they could not. I hope for your sake and the entire town it doesn't come to that.
