...Joshua Baca is with Build With Strength, a group that includes the
concrete industry that pushes for tougher building codes. The group
advocates for steel and concrete to be used. The building that burned
Monday used wood materials on the upper floors.

building under the current code in Maryland; however, it is dangerous,
