For everyone’s information: The fire department is now admitting that they had smoke detectors. Originally they didn’t see them because it was an electrical fire and they got burnt beyond. Secondly, they are also admitting that it WASN’T the hot plate! They only said it was the hot plate because it was in the kitchen and it just made sense, but after further investigation they realized that the hot plate was not at all faulty. It was from wires inside the walls. The media has no interest in reporting this because it’s not for their benefit. (I happen to be close to the family that’s how I know this. Everything could be verified, call the FDNY)
