Montreal fire kills 4

"Three adults and a seven-year-old boy died after flames ripped through a triplex in the Verdun district of Montreal early Sunday, officials said.
The blaze broke out around 5 a.m. ET and was brought under control after more than 100 firefighters arrived at the scene."

I find it incredibly sad that we are still losing lives to fire. With all the technology we have at hand you would think that this would be a thing of the past, especially in multi-level building or apartement. Did they have working smoke alarms? Is it the building owner that is responsible to make sure they are working?
Sad, sad, sad,,,,
