It seems to me that burning the house to the ground is merely an excuse to check some of the disaster planning methods and equipment to determine accuracy of fall out equipment etc.

I strongly doubt that most of the material is too hazardous or dangerous to remove. Like I said it's an opportunity. 8)

Anyone else think this?

Mostly I think it's a bit hard on the landlords. They're expected to know that the tenant has stockpiled explosives?

The burn doesn't sound prudent to me. On the other hand, I don't blame the local bomb squad for not wanting to work in the house.

Given they are not paying the homeowner for their "experiment", I wonder if the homeowners insurance will payout for fire damage? Will the homeowners insurance have to pay out for any damage to neighboring property, etc?
