The Charlotte Fire Department looks at thousands of apartments a year to make sure they're meeting certain fire code standards. Channel 9 learned nearly 30 percent of apartments inspected this year had violations. In March, Ashley Flees and her two children escaped a devastating fire at the Summit Ridge Apartments in east Charlotte. "We could have all been goners," said Flees. Channel 9 reconnected with Flees months after she lost everything. Flees was one of the first people to see the fire that day.
