I'm with Mrvette. High rises have sprinkler systems and other fire protection measures. This had to be deliberate.

Some report that the building had NONE of that fire safety gear.....

I think it's BS, structure built in '7X and NOT have that plumbing??

which brings in another thought.....islamics got into the fire supression plumbing, and piped gasoline through it????

hire ONE for the maintenance staff, and????

The last news blurb I saw said a new exterior cladding was added and possibly acted as a chimney to spread the fire. The report was it started in a 4th floor apartment. Also saw the building from a different angle and it appears to be a larger portion with less floors behind the high rise part - meaning escape from the back side was still possible for some.

Plus this was low income (public) housing. I think you'll find it probably started in the kitchen area of one of the tenants.
