    investigators have yet to release details about a possible a motive.

    I’m pretty sure we can all guess what it is …

    I know Bernie thanked all the first responders but I also want to thank the people who decided buildings should have sprinkler systems in them, which is ultimately what suppressed the fire. Engineered safety systems are a person’s best friend.

      Remember this the next time a conservative tries to advocate for removing or preventing new regulations in the name of “cutting red tape” and other pro-business nonsense. Especially when those regulations are about safety. If we didn’t have those, people would still be dying en-masse in mines due to silicosis and other lung conditions. And car manufacturers would limit their safety systems (including seatbelts) in order to minimize costs.

    “The Burlington police department said the fire engulfing the door and part of the vestibule had impeded “staff members who were working in the office” from exiting, which endangered their lives.”
