Playing with Fire

Monday, August 24, 2009, around 10:45pm: Rockland firefighters quickly responded to another fire alarm at 100 Martha Drive, Rockland, MA.  Kids were loitering in the first floor hallway before the alarms sounded. According to the fire dept. it smelled like candles had been burning.  Property management was notified again. (See July's incident.)  
Some parents and management have not done enough to resolve this ongoing problem. Good fire prevention measures NOW, may save another Rockland Place child from becoming scorched.  Promised security cameras installed in common areas would deter some fire setting and other crime.  Hopefully, property owners will install them before they have to collect
on fire insurance policies again. This reminds me of one of the laws these Lessors violated: Chapter 186, Section 21.  (Several of our good photos showing fire setting and other violations have mysteriously vanished from this blog.)

Thought for the day:  More tax dollars for badly-run multifamily housing developments won't help those in need of safe, decent, affordable housing.
