I would think Mark Warners would have had to comply to fire safety regulations wouldn't you?
What fire safety regulations?

I'm in a villa with a 100% legal, fully registered for tax purposes, contract.

There are NO smoke detectors.  Ditto our first main place of stay.

Anyone suggesting a smoke detector in 5A needs to go beyond 'would', 'should' and 'ought to have'.

The MW complex 'should' have had decent security.

Did it?

I said earlier that I don't know.

I still don't know.

If the photos show a smoke detector, then we will have an answer.  But if they don't .......

how much damage was caused
Damage to the TV? Probably few of the channels worked after that inferno.
Damage to the apartments? - basically ruined by fire and water.
More seriously, 6 people taken to hospital with smoke inhalation.

Fire is a much lower risk to children than asphyxiation.

So which way do you want it? Ignore things that didn't happen but may have or discount things that did happen because they were unlikely.
