Five kids killed at apartment complex without working smoke detectors - Settlement reached with complex

According to published reports, the owners and managers of an apartment complex have agreed to a settlement after a fire killed five kids.

Apparently, the apartment complex did not have properly working smoke detectors.  The family, which was poor, were using candles to light their apartment.

There were no working smoke detectors either in the apartment unit itself or in the common area hallway.  As a result, the family did not know a fire had started until it was too late.

The apartment complex's insurance company agreed to pay a substantial settlement as a result of the gross lack of attention to basic safety features like smoke detectors.
