Over here, one doesn't normally own any mineral or water or any other rights to stuff that may be under the surface but we own the land. Someone has to pay the taxes!
Up all night watching the fire...

A little video and some pics. They say an electric heater is probably the cause.

I'd say the fire did at least 100K worth of improvements to the neighborhood once they clean it up.
Hope your government Agency you live in will condemn and require the the building’s owner to Tear it down.
I’ve been living near the city of Detroit all my life and have seen what a burned out structure looks like if not taken down.
It stops the motivation of other in the neighborhood to keep home live able.
Michigan hasn’t the Energy resources under its feet, but does have the best water anywhere and keeps planning to keep it that way.
But in 1960’s the state did rule that the surface owner has the rights of ownership under his feet after 20yrs, if no one has taken out a drilling permit and used it in the set time frame.
I’m not sure if the same holds true on the air rights above the same property as I know someone tried to build a higher Garage like structure Then the homes around have and the permit was rejected.

Well I had the pleasure of watching that shithole house getting torn down over the past 3 days. Not sure why they left some of the green fence but once I'm sure these people are gone for good, that will be coming down! A small pile of items by the front fence that the previous owner is coming back for.
As I mentioned earlier, we only rent the ground in this area from the coal company, they won't sell it. From what I heard, they were on the neighbors ass about getting that house down, probably before their ground lease ran out. After a few halfassed attempts by the owners to tear it down themselves, they finally gave up and hired a company to do it. They brought in some heavy equipment and had it all done in 3 days.
Hopefully nobody will be able to lease the land and put another house or heaven forbid a trailer or something in there. It's too damn close to my house for comfort. I don't think the coal company wants anybody else near this big coal bank so odds are I'll finally have peace! It sure would be nice to see a 40 x 60 pole building there for my cars though!
(just dreaming...)
here's looking over the rear fence in the back corner:

How much do they charge to rent that land?
Not sure what they would charge for that section or if they even would lease it. I know when I built my 2.5 car garage, I rented a section that goes from the road back to the coal bank and 28' from our existing garage we have. It was only an additional $100 per year. Not sure what they old man is paying for the part the house is on. Probably a few hundred?
The people made it out, their pets, did not. 
I'd be asking before someone else does Bob.
Getting it ready for George to built his mansion.Today the guys came back and plated grass seed and used something like a chipper to distribute straw to cover it all. I doubt they would do that if someone was planning on moving in. (he said hopefully)
Getting it ready for George to built his mansion.
Well whoever George is he must have a few screws loose for wanting his mansion here!
He must have a coal truck fetish...
Soros.Well whoever George is he must have a few screws loose for wanting his mansion here!
Soros.
That would indeed be entertaining, Soros builds next to Bob and then goes over to Bobs house to borrow a cup of sugar.
