Mayor Matt Mahan issued the following statement on X after the fire: "The situation on our streets sadly took another life today. Our failure to take urgent, bold action to address homelessness costs lives and takes a toll on our first responders — both on resources and moral. Thanks to @SJFD for responding quickly to this horrific situation. I am pushing us to do better for our firefighters and police officers and for the people suffering and dying on our streets."
