Greetings once again to all.
I know there are at least a few folks who have seen, as a result of my posts, that I am attempting to make my town safer with regards to histoic area fire safety. It is an ongoing struggle as I have one case going through court and another situation that we are trying to resolve with regards to limited egress from a second story historic building. I believe the latter will be worked out to everyones benefit in short order.
Anyway, my point is that when I saw the news on this fire on Sat. it really got my attention. As a result I am hoping to find as much detailed information about what happened. One article said that there were no fire separations between occupancies but that at least some of this block had been "converted" into apartments. That really raises eyebrows for me. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
I'm sure it will take some time to find out the cause though it is suspected to have started as an electrical fire according to one article.
If any of you folks hear of details other than what is posted on the internet I would be obliged if you could pass them on. I am new to fire inspections and have limited experience in these matters. The more info the better.
thanks
Byron
