What a horrible tragedy! My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Everyone and ever business should have a working fire alarm/security system for the protection of life safety. Things like this make me sad. If a smoke detector had gone of at the first sign of smoke it may have made a big difference.
Again a working fire/security system means cheaper insurance and like a house sitter when your home or not home to call for help. Don't fall for the big companies that tell you they will put a free system in your home. They do nothing more then put just enough equipment in your home to charge you a outrages monthly monitoring fee. Then you never see them again unless you pay a outrages service fee. Find a real company that honestly wants to protect you, your family and your home.
