New York, NY, Nov. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The National Fire Sprinkler Association (NFSA) finds itself reporting on yet another high-rise fire in less than a week. Just last Friday, November 20th, fire erupted at The Gateway Apartments in San Francisco’s Financial District. The three-alarm blaze, which started on the 11th floor, led to five injuries, 23 units damaged, and numerous residents displaced. On Sunday, November 22nd, a fire in a New York City high-rise resulted in the death of a mother and daughter, ages 73 and 37. The fire began just after midnight in their apartment on the 24th floor of a 32-story unsprinklered apartment building. Built in 1964, the building is not equipped with a fire sprinkler system. After firefighters put out the flames, emergency services transported the women to hospitals for smoke inhalation. Both were pronounced dead a short time later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the statistics of past recent years may indicate 40 people die annually in high-rise fires, I believe it is currently much more than that,\u201d explained NFSA President Shane Ray. \u201cWe know of fires from Hawaii to San Francisco and now New York City. We know how to prevent this and public policy can be changed that will save citizens and firefighters lives.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tony\u00a0Saporito, Executive Vice President of the Mechanical Contractors Association of New York\u2019s Fire Sprinkler Council adds, \u201cUnfortunately, we cannot go back in time and undo the tragic deaths of\u00a0\u00a0Warnette\u00a0and Malaika James, however, we can honor them by urging our legislators to revisit our current existing building code requirements in the hopes of protecting all New York residents who live in apartment buildings built prior to 1999.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

During this holiday season, and\u00a0in the midst of\u00a0a worldwide pandemic, fires continue to needlessly take lives. Our hope is that New York policy makers will seriously consider retrofit options for the large number of residential buildings that exist within the city.\u00a0 Current federal legislation is making its way through Congress following a tragic Minneapolis, MN fire last year.
