The rich burn as easily as the poor
From the NY Times:
Five people died in an early morning fire on Sunday that consumed their 4,000-square-foot house in a waterfront neighborhood of Stamford, officials said.It doesn't matter if you live in a 4000 sq ft mansion or a 400 sq ft trailer, fire burns us all and death is the great equalizer..
The mayor of Stamford, Michael Pavia, and the acting fire chief, Antonio Conte, told reporters at a news conference that three of the victims were children. Mr. Conte said two people escaped the fire, and had been taken to a hospital, according to The Associated Press.
They did not release the names of the family members or information about the cause of the fire.
The fire broke out before 5 a.m. in the house, which was built in the late 19th century. It had been undergoing renovations, said a police captain, Thomas Lombardo, and was purchased last December for $1.725 million.
