golfnut, check your policy. Most have an exclusion if a home is unoccupied for a certain amount time (usually 30 days, sometimes more, sometimes less), many things aren't covered (such as water damage). If the insurance company can prove that the fire was somehow caused by something that would have been detected had the house been watched and the exclusion is in the policy, it won't be covered.
