In most cases by the time the fire department shows up any equity in the house has pretty much been burned out, and that is before the fire department goes and dumps a bunch of water in the home.

The no fire insurance/no fire department available conundrum certainly sucks for manufactured homes, but it is only one of many reasons why a manufactured home can be (but isn't always) a poor decision.
