  • M. Seth Abrams I had an engineer once who took the coupling from a section of 2.5" directly to the eyebrow on a working fire as he was helping establish the water supply from the truck. Although badly gashed and bleeding, he continued to operate the panel and supply water to us working the fire. He didn't inform anyone of the injury until after the fire had been knocked out.

  • Wendy CK This was tragic! For a mansion that huge, it should have had a sprinkler system put in when it was built. The tree was dry and the heat from the decorative lights made it worse. My condolences to the family and friends. Heartbreaking

  • David See All residential structures should be fitted with fire sprinkler systems whether they're huge mansions or small dwellings. Instead homeowners continue to favor green lawns over their loved one's lives.
