Leading mass-casualty fire attorneys and building safety advocates from Saltz Mongeluzzi & Bendesky P.C., are available to discuss the multi-family Philadelphia rowhouse fire this morning that resulted in more than one dozen deaths, including seven children.

Attorney Robert J. Mongeluzzi, a national authority on building safety, including fire prevention and suppression systems, said on behalf of SMB, “We are heartbroken in the aftermath of this horrific tragedy; we join those in our caring community now mourning the unspeakable loss of life, supporting the survivors, and questioning how a multi-family public housing residence could, as reported, function without working smoke detectors.”
