In my last installment, I referred to La'affaire de garbage as having been started purposely by city employees. Therefore (either expressed or implied) giving the impression that the raging smell was generated by the city.
That turned out to be wrong. Further litening revealed that it was a lightning strike.
Therefore, the fire/odor was caused by an act of God. Thus, the trash was not covered by caualty insurance. The pile may have totalled. At the very least, the city will have to rebuild it at its own expense.
