Fires sometimes can't really be avoided, and it's possible this all was just an unfortunate accident, and we can at least be glad no one was more seriously hurt. But at a business like this, one has to consider possibilities such as known hazards on the property or unsafe business practices which can lead to fires. It's possible that whatever caused the fire reasonably could have been avoided. Finding those factors could prove crucial in getting some of these folks the help they deserve.
