1401 S. 18th St., Renton, WA - Apartment/Urban-Wildland Fire
#25
I lived in these apartments for 1 year back in 2009, The next building down from these actually.

 

The fire building was 1401 and I lived at 1301...

 

There were no sprinklers even though the units were rebuilt a few months before I moved in.

 

They were rebuilt from the ground up, but somehow the complex was able to find some building loophole that allowed them to rebuild without updating the fire suppression system.

 

I bought fire extinguishers for EVERY room including the bathroom and even bought an emergency escape ladder!

 

It doesn't look like any of those things would have helped if my unit ever caught fire... 

 

My unit was at greater risk too because of the 6 garages below the apartments.

 

One car fire and those things were gone!

 

I'm glad I got out of that complex!
