According to a spokesperson for ICE, Zapeta is an undocumented immigrant from Guatemala. He last lived in a homeless shelter in East New York, Brooklyn. ICE officials said in a statement that Zapeta was detained and deported shortly after crossing the border in Arizona in 2018. At some point, he snuck back in the U.S. and has been in the country for an unknown period of time.

That's something to think about, good idea... maybe a sprinkler system isn't feasible, but a smoke alarm and a panic button too to alert authorities. Maybe every car should have an extinguisher. If another fire were to happen, you would be trapped with no way to escape.
