A recent fire in Bolivar in a multi-unit home for elderly and disabled people has upturned their lives. The fire started in one unit and spread along the roof to others, making the building unlivable. Jenny Thacker considers the possibility that this building fire and many others predating building codes could have been caused by faulty construction. She wants legislators to focus more on fire prevention in our older homes, as well as to better support local fire fighting and rescue.
