HOLYOKE, MASS. (WHDH) - A woman who suffered broken bones and a back injury after a fire alarm failure is now suing.
After needing surgery she is seeking restitution.
When flames broke out in Holyoke in January, she threw her 4-year-old from a fourth story window to escape the smoke.
Fire officials say a fire alarm failure caused a ten to twenty minute delay in alerting fire crews.
The woman is seeking more than $100,000.
The lawsuit also alleges the father of Serrano’s child suffered second and third degree burns from the fire.
