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

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.
