LAKELAND, Fla. — Polk County Fire Rescue (PCFR) was dispatched to a recreational vehicle fire on Combee Road in Lakeland just before noon on May 31.
PCFR said the RV was fully engulfed in flames, with a person potentially trapped inside when they arrived.
First responders worked to put out the fire and confirmed one fatality.
The incident is currently under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal's Office and the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
“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.
