IV. Catastrophic Apartment
Fire
In November 1997, there was a horrific fire in Bremerton
to a 150 unit apartment complex called Kona Village.
The fire itself was seen from 5 miles away in downtown
Seattle. A helicopter circled, taking photographs.
The story was on national television for days. Four
persons perished in the fire. All tenants were displaced
and almost 100 tenants lost everything when their
apartment burned. Many tenants woke up suddenly and
had to flee their apartment in their burning pajamas
rather than perish from smoke or fire. Terry and co-counsel
represented 80 of the tenants including 2 families
who lost loved ones.
