- And Finally, Profoundly, Flammably Unclear On The Concept is brought to us this week by Yazoo City v. Hampton, in which the Supreme Court of Mississippi began its opinion as follows: “On November 18, 2020, a fire broke out at Young’s property in Yazoo City. The Yazoo City Fire Department responded, but extinguishing the fire proved difficult for two reasons: (1) a lack of tank water in the fire department’s truck and (2) an inability to connect to a nearby fire hydrant.” As reasons go, those are two. We do think that the court missed an opportunity to expand the scope of the “Coming to the Nuisance” defense by adding a “Coming to the Yazoo” corollary. How could you not know that the Yazoo City Fire Department will be staffed by clowns/ buckets of confetti?
