@youngichu: This is really Sad! Hopefully the governor comes to their Aid and understand the root cause of the fire outbreak!
@ezima_joseph: This is so heartbreaking… we need to learn to do insurance as a people. Govt must make insurance compulsory for homes and business owners so that in situations like this, they can be indemnified.
