SASKATOON – A Saskatoon mother who lost one of her children in a house fire earlier this month is angry with the landlord who was responsible for checking her smoke alarms.

Jennifer Bowron left her hospital bed Monday to speak with reporters and thank the people of Saskatoon for all the support and concern they have shown the family. But she's also angry with landlord Jack Grover, who has been charged with falsifying smoke detector records.
The morning of March 3 is one that Bowron will never forget.
Fire broke out at the two-storey rental home at 214 Ave. E North just before 9 a.m.
Bowron woke up choking from the smoke that had invaded her bedroom.
"All I could see was smoke and I remember going down the stairs, going out a window and off a balcony and right onto the ground...and then going to my neighbours to call the cops," she said.
Bowron's three-year-old daughter Isabelle died last week. Another daughter, eight-month-old Jordynn is still in a coma. Eighteen-month-old William is out of intensive care but is expected to remain in hospital indefinitely.
A friend of the family, Curtis Gifford, is in critical but stable condition.
Bowron said Grover never checked the two smoke alarms to make sure they were working. The alarms did not go off when the fire started, she said.
"I'm very angry at him that he didn't do his part as a landlord and make sure everything worked," she said.
Grover did not speak with reporters when he made his first court appearance last week.
Bowron also criticized the provincial government for not providing adequate income assistance to her family.
