When they arrived on the scene, people were jumping from the third-floor windows and balconies leaving two of them with life-threatening injuries.  Several others were injured as well, mostly from minor burns and smoke inhalation.

The 48-unit building had 12 units destroyed and a dozen more with structural damage.  The rest of the building was without power leaving more than 100 people homeless as the fire grew to 3 alarms bringing 75 firefighters to the scene.

KCPQ Ch. 13 has this video report:

    Sprinklers anyone? One would think insurance companies would get to the point of refusing to insure any new construction without them. Heck even the huge empty open sided metal roofed horse arena in Miami-Dade County FL has sprinklers.
