Do I have the address right? 2-alarm fire in that deli at Franklin and Pacific? I jogged by it yesterday and almost stuck my head in to say what a great job they'd done with new glass, tile floors, lighting, grill...beautiful.
Such a shame. Maybe I have the wrong one?
Sadly, yes. And there was a fatality.

Ah, unfortunate about this whole situation. Was psyched about the renovations.
One advantage of newer buildings is they are constructed with concrete subfloors, reducing the chance that fires will spread to adjoining floors and saving lives.
The scene this morning, around 5 AM
this is tragic on so many levels. This woman lost her life for absolutely no reason. The national building code is clear, if you have flame below you need ansul or another agent to protect the source and notification devices for the residents above. The real estate lobby is so powerful that all these old buildings remain without sprinklers or an automatic fire alarm system that includes pull stations, notification devices like horn strobes and a central station communication device that sends for help without human interaction. As bars and cafes, grocery storesNO FIRE PROTECTION, all have found themselves under or unprotected due to a DOB that is completely phucked up.
