People tend to jump to conclusions when it comes to residence fires because they assume the people in the residence did something wrong. Obviously, that’s possible, but there may have been extenuating circumstances. Was there a botched installation? Was there a defective appliance? Is this a rental property with known issues the property owners failed to address? Unless investigations have been able to rule all of that out, the last thing anyone should do is jump to conclusions.
