I just read about this on the Scranton
Times-Tribune online. Apparently the heat and smoke from this blaze was so intense that it caused a disturbance on weather radars as well. I hope the residents of Conshohocken band together and raise money to help those displaced. I'm actually not familiar with situations such as this. If you own a home, an accidental fire would be covered under your insurance. Is there such a thing as "renters' insurance" that would compensate you for all of your lost possessions in the case of a fire like this? What if it turns out to be arson? Will the residents still be compensated? What if it turns out that the construction company working on the unoccupied building started the fire out of negligence? Will they be held liable to pay millions to help relocate and refurbish new homes for these people?
