Lax regulations and poor enforcement in Honduras are clearly to blame here.

Accountability is definitely necessary to ensure justice for the victim, but simply blaming individuals might overlook systemic issues in regulatory oversight and public awareness campaigns about fire safety. It's a complex problem.
