Fremont resident sues apartment complex after deadly fire
Briefly

In the aftermath of a tragic apartment fire in Fremont that killed two residents, Haolin Zhang, a survivor, is suing the property owner, MV-EPT Apartments. Zhang, who was trapped on his balcony during the incident, argues that management is liable for unsafe conditions and inadequate safety protocols. Eyewitnesses reported a harrowing scene as two victims fell from a fourth-floor balcony while awaiting rescue. The fire was exacerbated by obstruction in the parking lot, hindering firefighters' efforts. Zhang's attorney emphasizes the importance of safety compliance and concerns over hazardous exposure during the blaze.
Zhang alleges that the apartment's management should be held liable for injuries and other damages suffered by the dozens of residents of the 30-unit building.
