Not the wind. Not the cigarette. Not the spark.
The Building Codes are defective . Wooden decks and vinyl siding Substandard fire exits. Inadequate fire stopping to the cockloft.
Prevention is the key. All tenants should be evacuated until appropriate fire prevention steps are taken throughout this complex.
Respectfully yours,
