  1. Like with the new policy of publishing DUI arrests, it would be nice to know the official causes of what seem to be a lot of fires in multi-unit dwellings lately. Malfunctioning electrical devices, especially involving battery chargers are typically considered “accidental” even though the dangers of some battery types and chargers are becoming well known now. However, when the cause of the fires is improper or irresponsible use candles, incense or especially smoking materials, that is edging into the area of negligence, and would be nice to have more reporting on. Anyone who shares an apartment situation, either as roommate or neighbor with a smoker, especially one who also engages in the use of debilitating drugs like alcohol or opioids is at risk and it would be nice to know the statistics. I would like to assume that once an official cause of a dwelling fire is made, either by public servants or by insurance companies, that it would be public information.
