Tenants of Centennial Trailer Park has sent out an email to tenants warning them that they are responsible for clearing any trailer debris left behind after the wildfire destroyed the trailers in the park, and some former tenants are upset about it. Doug Fitzgerald, who has called a trailer in the park home for 11 years and who lived there with his girlfriend Velma, is left with nothing but charred rubble and ashes where his trailer once stood. The thought that he should have to shell out money from his own pocket to remove debris upsets the 57 year old Fitzgerald, who said “Are they crazy? It is their land and it is the owner’s responsibility to clean up their own land themselves. Shouldn’t the insurance cover this? Shouldn’t they have told us we would be responsible for cleanup when we moved in? I’m not cleaning it and I’m not paying for it.”

Many tenants of the Centennial Trailer Park did not have insurance which would cover the removal of the trailer debris, and park owners sent an email on June 30 to the former tenants warning that trailer owners must pay for debris cleanup. The email stated that if plots are nt cleared of debris by July 15, 2016 the park owners will take care of the clean up and then bill the former tenant for the costs. 51 year old Ted McAllister is another former tenant who believes that this is wrong. Ted explained “If you have a tenant in the basement, you don’t charge them for clearing out the debris that fell in the basement. They sent it just before the long weekend, too. So that means a lot of people lost four days of cleaning time.”
