One balcony
One potted plant
One cigarette disposed of into potted plant
One fire
Ten Million dollars in damages
Sixty condo's destroyed or severely damaged.
Hundreds of people lose homes, possessions.
Zero loss of human life
Zero loss of fur kids.
Cheap building construction blamed by some-vinyl siding and OSB and defective fire walls to blame?
Time to ban smoking on balconies? Or plants?
