A big reason to live in a tent
A big reason to live in a tent out in the back yard.
The local Red Cross will usually put a family up in a hotel for a week or more but ...........
A total loss is not usually a "total" loss. Could be a number of good things that didn't suffer water, smoke or fire damage. IE tools equipmet in a garage.
The local utility usually cuts power/utilities to a burned home so no alarms, etc.
Staying can help secure the home and lot.
Or - they were under insured and the cost to repair/replace is not all covered.
Still a good reporter should have covered those angles when doing the story.
But homes burn every day in this country and most civilians get very little local consideration except maybe a sad story in the local paper, a collection at work and a few change jars at local quick stops.
