NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. — Pasco County Fire Rescue (PCFR) said crews were dispatched to a three-story home in Pasco County after a fire broke out Thursday afternoon.
Pasco County Fire Rescue said firefighters arrived at the home in the 5000 block of West Shore Drive just before 2 p.m.
PCFR said as the crews were battling the heavy smoke and flames, conditions worsened, which resulted in a near-total collapse of the second and third floors, as well as the roof.
A woman and a child were home when the fire broke out, but escaped safely. No injuries were reported.
PCFR is still investigating the cause of the fire.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
