Victims who lost their homes that day, like Tawnya Somauroo, claim the report came out"very quietly."
Chard worked on the 55-page report with the other agencies. He said it's a review of the emergency response to the fire, which examined"what went well, what didn't go well, what are the gaps and challenges." "We were never evacuated," Somauroo said."How we found out the fire was already in our neighborhood was that a neighbor around 1:20 [p.m.] came driving into the neighborhood beating the horn screaming,"The flames are on our side of the street. Let's go.""
