There are fears nothing has been done to prevent another Loafers Lodge tragedy. 

An investigation into boarding house facilities was initiated after last year's fire killed five people. 

It's found only half the 37 buildings inspected had adequate smoke detectors. 

Wellington City Missioner Murray Edridge told Mike Hosking that more needs to be done. 

He says they're just waiting for this to happen again but isn't hopeful anything will change.
