It sounds like one victim made it out but then went back in. How horrible their last thoughts must have been.

I had my 4 plex burn down and a tenant died! Unfortunately I was out side listening to her perish! There was nothing I could've done!

I wonder how much they were paying and whether there were proper windows/exits

[JakeFresno]

Fire as a forensic countermeasure? Its possible

Cause?? Cigs? Candles? Crack pipes? Zero functional smoke detectors. Sad

Basement suite...
Probably paying like 4k a month rent. They were being bled dry I bet.
I have seen houses on the island split up and charging 7-10k between the upstairs/downstairs.
Death by unaffordable housing.
