FEMA did the cleanup after my family's place burned to the ground in 2020. It was a really remote plat of land and I don't know how the damn trucks made it through...but they hauled out the remnants of the house, full brick chimney, an old 73 fladbed Ford that melted, and the original tractor used to make the road in 1972! along with debris of those big plastic and metal doughboy pools that we used for water storage.

I can't imagine the soil stuff they had to do but I've seen the final report and that all manner of things had to be checked before they turned the property back over to us.

We're going to see the big 'behind the curtain' moment, where people who decry government largeness see just how MUCH the Federal Government *does* for people!!
