I won't second guess the fire captains etc. But I sure will whoever let some of those towers be built the way they were and just ordinary construction. Inexcusable for the tenants and the firefighters. I can't understand why we build out of wood basically, except where the earthquake hazard far exceeds hazards from fire, hurricanes etc. We have plenty of stone here and there. Build with that or cement. Save the wood for floors and furniture etc. Build smaller and build safer. mg
