Fire Due Foreclosure

There is a house that is being foreclosed on for failure to pay fire dues. There is no other mortgage on the property. Surely that doesn't mean you can buy this house for the fire due amount does it? I am only familiar with dealing with first mortgage sales but in this case, they paid cash.
