When a renter is injured or a life is lost due to an apartment fire caused by owner/landlord negligence, our Santa Rosa apartment fire lawyer is prepared to use the power of the law to fight for the injured renter or grieving family.
Fire Attacks Santa Rosa Apartment Complex
The Press Democrat reports that a destructive fire ra
vaged a west Santa Rosa apartment building on Sunday. At around 7:45 AM, the fire department began receiving reports of smoke at the 266-unit, two-story complex located near the intersection of Piner and Marlow Roads. Firefighters initially found light smoke, but no visible flames. The battalion chief told reporters that a fire was burning inside the walls and the attic space. He warned that this type of fire is particularly dangerous because they often go undiscovered until smoke begins to billow out into the homes.
