This article was in the latest Sprinkler Age Weekly NewsBrief that I just received. Does anyone have more information regarding the height of this complex. Was it 4-stories with a 13R system or was it 5-stories?...or was it 1-story parking with 4-stories of residential? The fire photos on-line are devastating. http://www.mcall.com/news/nationworld/state/all-a4_fire.6551885aug19,0,1 398205.story I'm just curious because of the statement made by the attorney regarding lack of sprinklers in the attic. rick matsuda city of dallas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sprinklers Could Have Helped Torch Lit Complex <http://strongmail.multiview.com/track?type=click&mailingid=4505&message id=4105&databaseid=1801&serial=1191446431&[EMAIL PROTECTED] cityhall.com&userid=69&extra=&&&2025&&&http://www.mcall.com/news/nationw orld/state/all-a4_fire.6551885aug19,0,1398205.story> from The Morning Call - Aug. 19, 2008 A construction worker removing steel frames with an acetylene torch accidentally started a fire that destroyed two apartment buildings and left nearly 400 people homeless. Workers at the construction site did not take sufficient fire safety precautions, Attorney Robert Mongeluzzi said. The occupied buildings also did not have sprinkler systems in the attic, he said. ''That would have doused the flames,'' Mongeluzzi said. ''It never would have burned down.'' _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum
