Trump Tower fire is second 2018 blaze in sprinkler-free residential tower (Caroline Linton, 4/08/18, CBS News)
The fire on the 50th floor New York City's Trump Tower that left 67-year-old Todd Brassner dead and six firefighters injured was the second fire in the building in 2018 -- President Trump's centerpiece Manhattan skyscraper built that opened in 1984, but which does not have sprinklers on its residential floors. FDNY commissioner Daniel Nigro noted on Saturday that the upper, residential floors of Trump Tower do not have sprinklers -- a measure required in new buildings since 1999, but which President Trump, then a private citizen and property developer, lobbied to try and prevent.
