Sorry we do not need sprinklers When I read about the fire I thought Humm Summer cleaning and redoing hardwood floors and Hummmm and yes not only rages BUT in PLASTIC PAIL NOT even mental trash cans with lids. How is it possible that the staff did not know the most basic rule NEVER PUT RAGES in a pile much less in a plastic bucket. WOW!! I guess you have to be 82 to know the basics.
An 85-year-old building is not beyond its useful life. These beautiful old school buildings need upkeep and investment, but they should not be viewed as obsolete. I went to Golda Meir, built in 1890, and every day there was a history lesson.
