A third died in the burn center 102 days after the fire.[0]
I have multiple friends who lived in the Heidi Manor Apartments over the years. I saw the fire from 15 ft away standing on the sidewalk across the street from the building, it was horrifying. That building was a tinderbox and those walkways didn't have nearly enough staircases to be safe, it was a disaster waiting to happen.
I absolutely agree that personal fireworks are insane and should be outlawed entirely.
