How Did This Accident Occur?
A lot of people unfairly jump to conclusions with apartment fires, as they just assume a resident must have done something wrong. However, there are a lot of things that can contribute to a fire like this.
Was there a gas leak? Was it due to a defective appliance? Was there a botched installation or repair? Is this rental properly poorly maintained? Are there working fire alarms? Have there been existing issues management failed to address?
