I don’t have renters insurance, I didn’t know this was a thing (I’m not from the US). My landlord does have property insurance, but he’ll come here in the morning to assess the damage.
The fire was oil fire and it damaged the ceiling and walls, melted half of the microwave above the stove. 2 firetrucks, an ambulance and two SUVs showed up, 8 firemen, even the chief. They just looked around and took pictures, put fans to air out the house and took my name and phone number. Aside from the house repair costs and considering this is America, will the fact that I called 911 also land me a huge bill?
My country has socialized emergency services but I never called 911 here in the US due to fear of the costs, but this time my roommate yelled to call them and I did it on impulse. I live in Massachusetts.
