Residents call for safety, health improvements after Pines of Perinton fire

While no one who spoke with News 8 Monday would speculate on the cause of the fire, residents said they feel more people have been willing to listen to them since — and they want the glaring safety issues corrected. Senator Brouk and her team have been working with residents here for a while.

“Before that fire, my team had been working with residents here around some of the things that needed to be fixed frankly,” Brouk said, “just to make the place habitable, and so having the chance to actually go through and see how some of these folks are living and hopefully at the end of the day to really hear their concern.”
