Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro says a 50th-floor apartment at the midtown tower was “virtually entirely on fire” when firefighters arrived after 5:30 p.m. Saturday.
Fire officials say a man who was in the apartment was taken to a hospital and later died. Four firefighters suffered minor injuries.
President Donald Trump tweeted earlier that the fire was “Very confined (well built building).”
Trump’s business is based at Trump Tower and his residence is there, but he has spent little time in New York since taking office.
Nigro says no member of the Trump family was at the building on Saturday.
If the Tower and residential apartments therein were “so well built”, as Trump has stated, why were there not sprinkler systems installed? The fire commissioner stated that there were no sprinkler systems in the residential apartment, where the gentleman died. A shanda!
Sounds like arson.
To #4 - Will you kindly learn to write correct English sentences; you meant to state “couldn’t afford it”, and not “didn’t afford it”.
Were cheering a fire in Trump Tower. Liberals are sick.
This was a warning shot to Trumpf from Tsar Pootin.
