Very sad. We have many friends in Hyogo Ward.

When that annoying device on the wall stops beeping at you, CHANGE the BATTERY

He was very lucky to be awaken when he was still able to take action and run from the building, a lot of the fatal victims on fires happening late at night die because they become intoxicated in their sleep and can't escape even if they manage to wake up.

I find this incredibly upsetting.
Like Mr Wallace I too lived in Hyogo Prefecture and had associates and friends from that ward.

If this was considered a regular apartment building, then I don't think smoking rules can be applied. If it was considered something else, such as a social welfare building, then I don't think the 11-floor sprinkler rule applies. It seems a little confusing.

Springlers only installed in buildings with at least eleven floors?
Does that mean that people who do not live in buildings with at least 11 floors could roast alive if there is a fire?
