Do banks let you buy insurance w/o fire protection? *I guess your home is free and clear.

Never thought of it as particularly brave, just one of the joys of living out in the country. If you live in a rural setting chances are the only fire protection you have is a volunteer fire department, which is the case with us. I see them as useful to fight small brush fires and to put out the hot spots after your house burns to the ground

Yes, but the rates are about double what we were paying when we lived in the city.

I totally misunderstood you. I thought you were not insured for fire. I understand now. What can I say, I'm slow.
