Fatal Fire Leads to Suit Against Landlord

A 2009 fire that killed their granddaughter, and left them with severe burns. Now, they're suing the landlord. Sieh and Annie Toffoi say in that lawsuit that the windows in their second floor apartment were either designed not to open, or were sealed shut, complicating their escape. They were pulled from the building by firefighters. Police say the fire started when a man living next door passed out with a lit cigarette. It was ruled an accident. The landlord says the fire was tragic, but couldn't have been prevented.
