Cliff notes if you don't want to read:
-The cause of the fire is unknown right now
-There were no working smoke detectors at all in the house
-It was section 8 housing with 2 units. 8 people were living in 1 unit, 18(!) were living in the other unit
-It's a 3 story building and the exits were only on the ground floor

This is such a tragedy

Either that head of household lied about the number of people living in the apt (which does happen with Section 8 since it's basically a 10-year lottery wait) or the housing authority simply didn't give a fuck who they were renting the apt to. No idea how the smoke detectors were unreported or not inspected by PHA either.

Either way the situation is fucked and awful.

As if we needed a reminder that housing in the US is fucked up

Like pretty much everything else at this point.
How much do you wanna bet that the tenants weren't white?
