Rachel St. James Tragically Lost in Winston-Salem, NC Apartment Fire. (MyFox8.com)

Winston-Salem, NC NEWS – An apartment fire Sunday night, March 23, 2025, tragically claimed one life.

As reported by MyFox8.com, “[a]t around 9:46 p.m. on Sunday, firefighters responded to an apartment in the 800 block of Utah Drive after getting a report of a fire from neighbors who saw smoke.”

According to the report, “[f]irefighters say that the first engine arrived at the scene in 3 minutes and 20 seconds…Once firefighters arrived they immediately began to search the apartments and found someone couldn’t escape the flames.”

WFMYnews.com is reporting, “[o]n Monday, the Winston-Salem Fire Department identified the person who died as 31-year-old Rachel St. James.”

Fire inspectors continue to investigate the cause of the fire.

Potential Legal Claims for Family of Rachel St. James?

Our Legal Take

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

As authorities continue their investigation, premises liability attorneys with The Murray Law Firm question whether a lack of security or fire safety measures at the complex may have contributed to this incident.

What fire safety measures, such as working smoke detectors, fire sprinklers and emergency exits, were in place and working at the time of the fire?
When was the last fire inspection performed on the property?
Were any safety measures added after any previous inspections?
Was the property owner aware of any inadequate fire safety measures present prior to the fire?

As details of this fire continue to emerge, The Murray Law Firm suggests that it is possible that the apartment complex failed to undertake proper safety measures to protect those residents and guests legally on the premises. Under certain State law, the owner and management company of an apartment complex have a duty to protect residents and to keep the premises safe. If the owner or manager fails in this duty, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or wrongful deaths that occur as a consequence. Should the apartment complex be found at fault, the family of Rachel St. James may elect to hold the owner and management company civilly liable for their loss and suffering.

As insurance companies and unscrupulous property owners are often concerned with limiting their financial exposure in these incidents, it is crucial that the family of Rachel St. James retain an experienced premises liability firm as soon as possible to ensure all evidence, such as a faulty fire alarm or a poor evacuation plan, is preserved and the family’s best interests are protected. The Murray Law Firm has extensive experience in premises liability and apartment negligence cases, such as this, and we offer our legal expertise, if needed.

Sharon Pepmueller and Daughter Amber Pepmueller Lost in Washington, Missouri Apartment Fire. (Emissourian.com)

Washington, MO NEWS – An apartment fire Sunday afternoon, January 19, 2025, tragically claimed one life.

As reported by KSDK.com, “dispatchers received a 911 call from a woman reporting her apartment on fire at about 3:04 a.m. Monday…The first officer arrived at the scene at about 3:05 a.m. Monday at the apartments at 320 Jefferson St.”

According to the report, “[t]he Washington Fire Department arrived at the scene at about 3:11 a.m. and began a rescue operation. Firefighters located the two women inside the apartment, but both [were unable to survive the incident].”

EMissourian.com is reporting, “Sharon Pepmueller, 72, and her daughter, Amber Pepmueller, 42, were [the victims of the fire]. Sitzes said the women lived together in a second-floor apartment. They were the only two occupants of the building during the fire.”

The news report states, “the apartment the women lived in did have working smoke alarms, but initial findings on the scene indicated doors left open may have allowed large amounts of smoke to enter the apartment. ‘There was a lot of fuel in the back of that building, with trash cans. So we think it started on the outside and worked its way in.'”

Woodstock, IL NEWS – An apartment fire Tuesday night, November 12, 2024, tragically claimed one life.

As reported by ShawLocal.com, “[t]he Woodstock Fire/Rescue District responded at 10:13 p.m. to the fire at the two-story apartment complex in the 700 block of St. John’s Road in Woodstock, receiving multiple 911 calls reporting heavy fire conditions and potentially trapped occupants while en route.”

CBSNews.com is reporting, “[p]reliminary investigations indicate the fire began in a first-floor unit…The building lacked both a sprinkler and central smoke alarm system, contributing to the rapid spread of the fire throughout the two-story complex.”

According to the report, “[o]ne man suffered life-threatening injuries in the fire. Fire officials said he was taken to Northwestern Medicine Woodstock Hospital where he died.”

LakeMcHenryScanner.com is reporting, “McHenry County Coroner…identified the victim as Douglas Webster, 54, of Woodstock.”

Potential Legal Claims for Family of Douglas Webster?

Our Legal Take

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

As authorities continue their investigation, premises liability attorneys with The Murray Law Firm question whether a lack of security or fire safety measures at the complex may have contributed to this incident.

Was the property owner or manager aware of any suspicious activity prior to the incident?
Were any security personnel at the property?
What fire safety measures, such as working smoke detectors, fire sprinklers and emergency exits, were in place and working at the time of the fire?
When was the last fire inspection performed on the property?
Were any safety measures added after any previous inspections?
Was the property owner aware of any inadequate fire safety measures present prior to the fire?

As details of this fire continue to emerge, The Murray Law Firm suggests that it is possible that the apartment complex failed to undertake proper safety measures to protect those residents and guests legally on the premises. Under certain State law, the owner and management company of an apartment complex have a duty to protect residents and to keep the premises safe. If the owner or manager fails in this duty, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or wrongful deaths that occur as a consequence. Should the apartment complex be found at fault, the family of Douglas Webster may elect to hold the owner and management company civilly liable for their loss and suffering.

As insurance companies and unscrupulous property owners are often concerned with limiting their financial exposure in these incidents, it is crucial that the family of Douglas Webster retain an experienced premises liability firm as soon as possible to ensure all evidence, such as a faulty fire alarm or a poor evacuation plan, is preserved and the family’s best interests are protected. The Murray Law Firm has extensive experience in premises liability and apartment negligence cases, such as this, and we offer our legal expertise, if needed.
